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
Forget that I believed it was just for fun
That they'd always cut a floor cloth
Of noble linen and pure silk
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
Make the world know that your name
Is in everything and even so
Nobody even says thank you
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
