Lyrics

Wish I Could

We were searching for a fire

And we settled for a spark

Sparks glow like stars in the dark

Of course they do just like you

And I wish that I could fall for you

Yeah I wish that I could fall for you

Yeah I wish that I could fall

Well jesus walked

On the water on the water

We walk on dampness too

Yes we do through and through

If we had the time we'd take it

If we had the mind we'd make it

If we had the love

We could leave this world behind

Oh I wish that I could fall

Yeah I wish that I could fall

Yeah I wish that I could fall
