lyrics

FARID:
I wish I could sing
I wish I could play piano
Or bow a string
Move someone with just a note

I wish I could laugh
I wish I could share my story
No need to hold back
But I’m stuck in purgatory

But I just stand here
Silent I utter nothing
Held back by fear
I wish I could just say something

No words come out
I'm frozen amidst their gazes
So full of doubt
To everyone I'm a stranger

‘Cause why would anyone listen
To what I have to say?
Why would anyone tell me
That it will be okay?
Why would anyone hear me
Or what I know?
Why would anyone show me
That I am not alone?

If I could sing,
If I could play piano
Would someone listen?
The answer has always been “no”

I wish I could laugh
I wish I could share my story
No need to hold back
But I’m stuck in purgatory

Why won’t anyone listen
To what I have to say?
Why won’t anyone tell me
That I am okay?
Why won’t anyone hear me
Or what I know?
Why won’t anyone show me
That I am not alone?

Why would anyone listen?
If only someone would listen!

Then I would sing
Then I would play piano
For someone listening
For someone who wanted to know
For someone who cared to know
Me
