I Wish

wish I could open people's Hearts
And see what is inside 
wish I could open people's brains
And see what is inside 
wish I could know people
Understand people
I wish I could.

Government guns in robbery scenes
Shepherds prey on sheep
Priests preaching prosperity
Lord come down
For it will never be worse
Than it is.

Young blood in drugs
Leaders the thugs
slums and bugs
Only the haves with tags
The system it is
wish I could change all this
I wish.
