WISH I COULD BE LIKE JESUS MORE
INSTEAD OF ALWAYS GETTING SORE
WISH I CONTROLLED MY DESTINY

INSTEAD OF IT CONTROLLING ME
WISH I COULD TAME THE SAVAGE BEAST
WISH I COULD TAME MYSELF AT LEAST

THEN I COULD TAME THE OTHER GUYS
THEN I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD


BUT I CAN'T CHANGE
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND
I CAN ONLY REACT TO A LINE IN THE SAND

SO I RANT AND I RAVE
TILL I THINK THAT I'M BRAVE
BUT NOTHING GETS DONE IN THE END



WISH I COULD SAIL OUT TO THE BRINK

AND NEVER FEAR WHAT PEOPLE THINK
WISH I COULD MAKE MY LIFE'S DESIGN
AND KNOW THAT IT WAS TRULY MINE

WISH I COULD TRUST MY COMPASS MORE
NOT BE AFRAID TO LEAVE THE SHORE
FOR ALL MY CASTLES ON THE SAND

WASH OUT TO SEA IN TIME

WHY SHOULD I CARE

IF NO ONE WRITES ON MY GRAVE
HERE LIES A PERSON WHO ALWAYS BEHAVED



'CAUSE NO ONE IS SAVED
BY NOT MAKING WAVES

DESPITE HOW WE TRY TO PRETEND
AND THE SPIRIT SAYS
COME, TAKE MY HAND

I WILL MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
COME, TAKE MY HAND
IN THE MORNING I WILL TAKE THE

TIDE WITH YOU

WISH I COULD BE 16 AGAIN

AND KNOW WHAT I KNOW NOW BACK THEN
I WONDER WHAT MY LIFE WOULD BE
IF I COULD'VE DONE THINGS DIFFERENTLY

BUT THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW
I'LL HAVE TO GET ALONG SOMEHOW
WITH WHAT THE WORLD HAS GIVEN ME

INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME

'CAUSE I CAN'T CHANGE

IF I NEVER BEGIN
AIN'T NO USE IN ME WORRYING 'BOUT
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

SO I LEARN AS I GO
'CAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW
WHAT'S WAITING FOR YOU

'ROUND THE BEND

COME, TAKE MY HAND

WE WILL MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE
COME, TAKE MY HAND
WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF IN SOMEONE

AND THEY SEE THEMSELVES IN YOU
AND YOU CHASE YOUR DREAMS TOGETHER
ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
