I wish, just once
To get back all the gold I handed over
To whoever managed to convince me
That it was proof of friendship
If somebody took away even what I didn't have
I wish, just once
Forget that I believed it was just for fun
That they'd always cut a floor cloth
Of noble linen and pure silk
I wish, just once
Explain what nobody can understand
That what happened is still to come
And the future isn't like it used to be
I wish, just once
Prove that whoever has more than they need
Almost always convinces themselves they don't have enough
And talks too much for having nothing to say
I wish, just once
That the simplest would be seen as the most important
I wish, just once
To understand how one single God at the same time is three
And that same God was killed by you
It's just cruelty then, to leave a God so sad
I wanted the danger and even bled alone
Understand: that way I could bring you back to me
When I found out it's always only you
Who gets me from start to end
And it's only you who has the cure for my addiction
Of insisting on this longing I feel
For everything I haven't seen yet
I wish, just once
To believe for a moment in everything that exists
And believe the world's perfect
And that everybody's happy
I wish, just once
Make the world know that your name
Is in everything and even so
Nobody even says thank you
I wish, just once
Like the most beautiful tribe, of the most beautiful Indians
Not be attacked for being innocent
I wanted the danger and even bled alone
Understand: that's how I could bring you back to me
When I found out it's always only you
Who gets me from start to end
And it's only you who has the cure for my addiction
Of insisting on this longing I feel
For everything I haven't seen yet
They gave us mirrors and we saw a sick world
I tried to cry and couldn't
