I Wish Lyrics by Omar Offendum

Eye Knows Faces EP

2017

[Verse 1]
I'm from a place where
Revolutions slowly suffocate from sarin gas and selfishness
And freedom's a mirage my people stared up at with helplessness
When SOS alerts were sent, nobody got the messages
And soulless men then learned to turn a profit from the recklessness
Aware of just how short a span humanity's attention is
If the White House is ambivalent
That doesn't mean the Kremlin is
Hindsight is 20/20
Divine right's been claimеd by many
And they still don't know Aleppo, let alonе what a White Helmet is...
Let's keep it moving
Like Obama with the red lines
Or Trump with the headlines & hairlines
I swear, I'm a rare kind of dude
Like the term for worms in Arabic
Unearth my buried heritage
From cities turning derelict
All that time I had before
I just wish I cherished it
All I can remember now is war
Bilad Al-Sham she perishes
I wish, I wish, I wish I met you at a different time
Suffice it to say, I could've come up with a different rhyme
But glory days are often figments of a stricken mind
Coping mechanisms for whom History hath left behind...
But hey it didn't have to be this way
These songs of freedom ain't naïveté
They were sourced from truths as credible
As regime change is inevitable
I just hope I live to see the day
