John's Lament

I remember summers when we played
Promises we made
O how that time fades
Summers go with bitter tears I cry
Looking to the sun God, wondering why
You had to go away, go away
I wish that I could be there
I wish that I could be there
You were there with all your pretty prayers
Solace in your care
But who said life is fair
I want you to feel the way I do
Cause I can be like you
I wanna be with you, be with you
I wish that I could be there
I wish that I could be there
Oh ho, I wish that I could be there
Be there, be there
I wish that I could be there
Be there, be there
Then I'd never be alone
I wish that I could be there
Then I'd never be alone
I wish that I could be there
I could be there
I wish that I could be there
I wish that I could be there
Oh ho I wish that I could be there
Be there, be there
I wish that I could be there
Be there, be there
I wish that I could be there
I wish that I could be there
