(This is based on the song by declan galbraith, an angel. You can view it on yahoo, etc.)
I wish I were you,
in your wheelchair,
then I would have had to learn to be love to all,
all from the start,
because I might need you to reach in the stars for me.
I wish I were you,
mentally retarded,
sometimes you cannot help
but to be be nice
and happy.
Good for you,
too retarded to know there's
a perceived problem.
I wish I were you,
guilty of various misdeeds,
horrible in your mind,
but then you see God when you leave us here,
and you know the extremities, the degrees, of God's forgiveness.
360 degrees.
Circles within universes.
I wish I were all of you
everyone you will ever know,
everyone who will ever disappoint you,
so I could forgive them.
I wish I could take all the hurts
this world has had to offer
and put them on myself
and lighten your loads.
All the wars, all the bickerings.
Maybe I could handle it...
Could you help me?
I wish I could bring
the promised heaven to earth.
Yes in my mind it can be,
But I wish then were now.
Perhaps if I were on speed,
a different kind, I could wind forward,
and be time itself.
Then I could offer it to you.
I wish I were mike and berit and gloria
and all there is
and all there ever will be.
Better to see the various facets of the Divine.
Hoo-hah.
I wish I were God in the sense of which I speak
and bring you to yourself
mend yourself,
make you the wholeness of the whole.
I wish I could be the most evil person on earth,
then saved by the bell which Christ rings,
and know more of the thankfulness of
being forgiven, just for listening to the bell.
I wish I could be a choir
ringing all their bells,
one for each perceived sin
and every time a bell rung,
someone would be forgiven,
someone would be forgiven.
I wish I could be the music of the bell,
"evangelize" without saying silly things
which don't matter,
which don't touch the spirit,
which don't rock your boat for you.
I wish I could "evangelize"
Be every angel's eyes,
every angel's eyes,
and look into you,
and know just what to say.
Without being a preacher preaching,
just being you for a moment.
I wish I were more infirm,
so that perhaps God could heal me,
and I could tell you
without sounding like a nut.
I wish I could erase my past,
have you there instead.
I wish I were an angel,
maybe I'd break the rules a bit
and shout out
"GOD LOVES YOU"
this time so everyone can hear.
Because being silent
can be a little difficult.
I wish I were on drugs,
hallucinate peacefully,
and then find out the beautiful scenes
were all real,
heavenly,
and it wasn't a sin
because God gave me the drug,
I just had forgotten it.
And God let me
give you the drug.
Maybe it would be angel dust,
the real kind.
No vaccuum needed.
I wish I could be a homosexual
you can be so sweet sometimes.
Sweetness like a honeycomb,
honey come home,
says God,
come back home.
(Declan also has another song, "angel (live on red rose day)" on google)
Wish I could be declan. Bye loves
