I Wish I could Be There

I wish I could be there

But I can't.

Be good for your Momma,

Cause she'll need a hand to hold

Boy she loves you

More than you'll ever know.

There are rhymes and there are reasons

And times when nothing stayed the same

But you know my love still remains

I wish you wisdom

I wish you years

I wish you armies

To conquer all your fears

I wish you courage for all that life demands

I wish I could be there

But I can't

I wish we were together

I wish I was home

I wish there were nights

Where I was never alone

I know I've said it

But I'll say it once again

I wish I could be there

But I can't
