I Wish

The soles of my feet are scarred
from walking on egg shells
You don't see the battered hearts,
that have been through hell
Where lifetimes of not good enoughs
are worn like armour
We'd never see it coming
Like a freight train jumping off the tracks

I wish, I wish, I wish
We could go back, re-plant the garden
We would be beautiful flowers
I wish

Looking back at the rows in our family garden
Where flowers try to grow between empty bottles
Parents do what they can to make life better
They never saw it coming
Like a freight train jumping off the tracks

I wish, I wish, I wish
We could go back, re-plant the garden
We would be beautiful flowers
I wish

Took years to clear all the glass,
Shattered in my path
Sowed some seeds of my own
Love how those flowers have grown
There were things I didn't see coming
I know their roots are strong enough
I couldn't stop the damage from being done

I wish, I wish, I wish
We could go back, re-plant the garden
We would be beautiful flowers
I wish

I wish, I wish, I wish
