Wish You Were Here

So you 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 you think you can tell?
 Did they get you to trade
 Your heroes 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 souls
 Swimming in a fish bowl
 Year after year
 Running over the same old ground
 What have we found?
 The same old fears
 Wish you were here
