So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell 
Blue skies from pain 
Can you tell a green field 
From a cold steel rail? 
A smile from a veil? 
Do you think you can tell?  
Did they get you to trade 
Your heroes for ghosts? 
Hot ashes for trees? 
Hot air for a cool breeze? 
Cold comfort for change? 
Did you exchange 
A walk on part in the war 
For a lead role in a cage? 


How I wish 
How I wish you were here 
We're just two lost souls 
Swimming in a fish bowl 
Year after year 
Running over the same old ground 
What have we found? 
The same old fears 
Wish you were here
