Wish You Were Here Lyrics - The Ecleftic: 2 Sides Ii A Book - Wyclef Jean

Lets go 

so so you think you can tell 

heaven from hell 

blue skies from pain 

can you tell a green field 

from a cold steel rail 

a smile from a vail 

do you think you can tell 

did they get you to trade 

your heroes for ghosts 

hot ashes for trees 

hot air for a cool breeze 

cold comfort for change 

did you exchange 

a walk on part in the war 

for a lead role in the cage

whether your listening to hip hip-hop 

or your tuning to rock 

refugees on your box 

we gonna take over ya blocks 

lets go 

how i wish, how i wish you were here 

we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish-bowl 

year after year 

running over the same old ground 

but have we found the same old fears 

wish you were here 

whether you listening to rock 

or you pumping the hip-hop 

refugees on your box 

Photos 

critics don't mistake this for just any cover tune 

I'ma take ya all to the dark side of the moon 

kicking in my moms womb this song was just a thought 

a young refugee labeled, just come with a passport 

dad used to tell me about the american dream 

my dream was waking up the projects 

a young teen listening to hip-hop 

my brother tuned me into rock 

put me up on pink floyd a band from the british blocks 

whether you pumpin the hip hip-hop 

or you tuning to rock 

refugees in your box we gonna take over your blocks 

from n.j. to bk to the uk 

how i wish, how i wish you were here 

we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish-bowl 

year after year 

running over the same old ground 

but have we found the same old fears 

wish you were here
