Lyrics

I WISH
Themes inspired by the Sufi Mystic Hafiz
From ‘I heard God Laughing’ by Daniel Ladinsky


I wish I could show you
when you're feeling alone
or in the darkness
The astonishing light of your own being

Do you know how beautiful you are?
I think not my dear
Yet Hafiz could set you on a stage
and worship you forever

I wish I could tell you
what I see when you speak of God
Such golden light,
streaming from your mind and heart

So dear one, sit with Hafiz
while I tenderly kiss your sweet Soul

I wish I could tell you
how I've fallen in love
with The One that lives inside you
And I can't go away for I just want
to stay here and be with you

Do you know how beautiful you are?
I think not my dear
Yet Hafiz could set you on a stage
and worship you forever
