World Without Sound

I wish I was a Christian

and knew what to believe

I could learn a lot of rules

to put my mind at ease

I wish I had the money

to live just like a queen

with emeralds and cashmere

and every little thing

I wish the ones who love me

would never go away

but had to have my company

every single day



But who do I believe

in this world without sound?

who do I believe

once they put you in the ground?

who do I believe

when the night's falling down?



I wish I lived in Paris

and dreamed in French each night

and had a dozen children

and raised them up just right

I wish I was John Lennon

free as a bird

and all of you who sit and stare

would hang on my every word

I wish I had the future

tied up with a string

then I would never feel the blows

the revolution brings



Who do I believe

in this world without sound?

Who do I believe

once they put you in the ground?

Who do I believe

when the night's falling down?



I wish I was a Christian

but I cannot believe

cause no one in the Bible

craves my company
