Wish You Were Here
Mark Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The memories of you in my heart
And all of the lifetimes that we had to share
Live even though we're apart
But don't cry for me
'Cause I'm finally free
(Chorus)
To run with the angels
To listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where I'll be
When you finally find me
No don't you be weary cause waiting for you
Are wonders that you've never known
Just hold on to Jesus, reach out for his hands
And one day They'll welcome you home
And that's when you'll be
Finally free
Finally free
(Chorus)
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
And all of the dreams that you treasure
Will soon come together
And that's when your sorrow will find tomorrow
And you will rise again
(Chorus)
We'll run with the angels on streets made of gold
We'll listen to stories of saints new and old
We'll worship our maker that's where we'll be
When you finally find me
I wish you were here
The song "Wish You Were Here" by Mark Harris is a beautiful tribute to the memories of someone who has passed away. The opening lines of the song reveal a longing to express the depth of love and affection that the singer has for the person who has gone. He speaks of the memories that he has carefully kept in his heart, keeping them alive even though they have been separated by death. The imagery of "lifetimes we had to share" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the bond between the two was not just for a moment, but across multiple experiences that have been shared.
The chorus of the song is both uplifting and emotive. The singer speaks of being "finally free" and "running with the angels on streets made of gold". Interestingly, this language can be interpreted in several ways. It could be a reference to the person who has passed away, now free from the limitations of their earthly body and experiencing a new form of existence that is filled with wonder and joy. Alternatively, it could also be interpreted as the singer himself finding a sense of freedom and peace in the belief that his loved one is in a better place. The song ends with the simple and powerful repetition of the line "I wish you were here", emphasising the ongoing presence of the person in the heart and mind of the singer.
