Wish You Were Here

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?
Smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get to the trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for the cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change
And did you exchange?
A walk on part in the war
For a leed role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We are 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 fear.
Wish you were here.
