I Wish
Flesh quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The game of life, should be played on a better level
But since I am stuck in the presence
I do what I need and try to make you see how I feel
It′s for real, the deals' big
A life shouldn′t be wasted the flavours in the music
So why don't you come taste it?
I'm down, so come on, and flow with this
I wish, I knew how to make it through
Mabe I do, if I really stay true to
What is right from my point of view a
Salam alikum, may peace be upon you and me
So we can keep travelling the positive
Ways in directions we decide for ourselves
Givin′ it love to grow so flow with
This poem that has shown just what I wish
I wish, I knew how to make it through
Mabe I do, if I really stay true to
What is right from my point of view a
Salam alikum, may peace be upon you and me
So we can keep travelling the positive
Ways in directions we decide for ourselves
Givin′ it love to grow so flow with
This poem that has shown just what I wish
