Wish you were Here   (Pink Floyd)

So, so ya think you can tell
heaven from hell, 
blue skies from pain, 
can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail? 
A smile from a veil? 
Do ya think ya can tell?
Did they get you to trade, 
your hero's for ghosts, 
hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze, 
cold comfort for change, 
did you exchange,
a walk on part in the war, 
for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here,
we're just two lost soles 
swimming in a fish bowl, 
year after year,
running over the same old ground, 
but have we found the same old fears,
wish you were here...
