about

This was one of those times when I got out of bed unable to sleep and popped out a song.

lyrics

I Wish I could sing to you a lullaby
I wish I could tell you it's all right
I wish I could find the simple faith of a babe
I wish I hadn't eaten from that tree

I'm overwhelmed by the urgency
and then I just have to breathe
can't catch the words that I need to speak
just have to say what I see

Chorus:
Here we are many miles down the road
still livin lies we been sold
like a walkin bird
don't know that he can fly
still eatin from the tree
- that's why

Father warned
liar lied
didn't take long to decide
and still today we play the game
we think we're free in these chains

Chorus:
Here we are many miles down the road
still livin lies we been sold
like a walkin bird
don't know that he can fly
still eatin from the tree
- that's why

I Wish I could sing to you a lullaby
I wish I could tell you it's all right
I wish I could find the simple faith of a babe
I wish I hadn't eaten from that tree
