I Wish You Would

I used to think I'd save the world with you I don't believe that anymore You said to follow and I wanted to 'Thought I knew, But I don't know Not the way I did before The revelation was so clear to me If only everyone could hear "It is written" was so dear to me I was young, 'didn't know I was hiding from my fear You loved me deep enough to die Said you'd always be my guide So Why'd you let me get so tied-up, twisted trusting in those lies I wish you would Save the world I wish you would Save the world Two thousand years of shallow promises A lot of faith, no mountains move A lot of greed and rape and slavery So you died, So you rose What exactly does that prove It's been a while since you so loved the world It's been an endless, weary war Love is fading and frustrated in confusion What'd ya change? Nothing's saved What the hell you waiting for I wish you would Save the world I wish you would Save the world You said to dream of Kingdom come You raised and shot the starting gun Then you just let us cry out Dry out like a raisin in the sun I wish you would Save the world I wish you would Save the world
