I wish you could have been there
When I walked for the first time.
I wish you could have been the one
To give me my first dime.
I wish that you’d had the chance
To see my first crayon art,
But I know that you couldn’t
So I live-streamed it from my heart.
Sometimes we are seperate
When we wish we were near.
Sometimes we’re gone for hours,
Sometimes for many years.
I wish you could’ve seen it
When I got on stage and sang.
I wish you could have been there
When the wedding bells rang.
I wish you could have hugged me
Each time my life was torn apart
But I know that you couldn’t
So I live-streamed it from my heart.
Sometimes life asks questions
That have no good answers.
Some folks must be soldiers
So others can be dancers.
I wish that I had known you,
Asked you questions and the like.
I wish we could watch movies,
Play with cards or take a hike.
I wish that we could blame the dog
When one of us would fart.
Someday we’ll have the chance. ‘Til then
I’ll live-stream from my heart.
Sometimes the cruel or thoughtless
Can take away a life.
Sometimes we see a uniform
And not its kids and wife.
I wish you could have been there
When that bomb fell from the sky.
I wish you could have been here
So you wouldn’t have to die.
I wish the world would parley
Before any war would start.
At least I know you feel the love
Live-streaming from my heart.
