I Wish You Would
I used to think I'd save the world with you
I don't believe that anymore
You said to follow and I wanted to
'Thought I knew, But I don't know
Not the way I did before
The revelation was so clear to me
If only everyone could hear
"It is written" was so dear to me
I was young, 'didn't know
I was hiding from my fear
You loved me deep enough to die
Said you'd always be my guide
So Why'd you let me get so tied-up, twisted
trusting in those lies
I wish you would
Save the world
I wish you would
Save the world
Two thousand years of shallow promises
A lot of faith, no mountains move
A lot of greed and rape and slavery
So you died, So you rose
What exactly does that prove
It's been a while since you so loved the world
It's been an endless, weary war
Love is fading and frustrated in confusion
What'd ya change? Nothing's saved
What the hell you waiting for
I wish you would
Save the world
I wish you would
Save the world
You said to dream of Kingdom come
You raised and shot the starting gun
Then you just let us cry out
Dry out like a raisin in the sun
I wish you would
Save the world
I wish you would
Save the world
I don't believe that anymore
You said to follow and I wanted to
'Thought I knew, But I don't know
Not the way I did before
The revelation was so clear to me
If only everyone could hear
"It is written" was so dear to me
I was young, 'didn't know
I was hiding from my fear
You loved me deep enough to die
Said you'd always be my guide
So Why'd you let me get so tied-up, twisted
trusting in those lies
I wish you would
Save the world
I wish you would
Save the world
Two thousand years of shallow promises
A lot of faith, no mountains move
A lot of greed and rape and slavery
So you died, So you rose
What exactly does that prove
It's been a while since you so loved the world
It's been an endless, weary war
Love is fading and frustrated in confusion
What'd ya change? Nothing's saved
What the hell you waiting for
I wish you would
Save the world
I wish you would
Save the world
You said to dream of Kingdom come
You raised and shot the starting gun
Then you just let us cry out
Dry out like a raisin in the sun
I wish you would
Save the world
I wish you would
Save the world
