I Wish You Well

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes people, they don't hear the words they say And then they cause themselves a case of utter dismay I've seen it happen time again Too many people get caught up in what they see Who they think they should be and are never really happy And they hate themselves all through their lives So they'll try to hurt me, but I'll not be scorned Against an attitude I can say I have never worn I just turn my feelings aside, then I fill myself with pride [Chorus] Then I wish you well Wherever you are I wish you well I hope you reach a brighter star I wish you well, well, well, oh [Verse 2] Somebody told me they don't like the way I speak Then I said, "Oh, what quick knowledge do you seek?" And I left them standing there alone It's time that we begin to accept just who we are 'Cause in the very end, we have got to be true to heart (Be true to the heart, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah) [Chorus] And I wish you well I hope you'll be the best you can be I wish you well I hope you do the same for me I wish you well, well, well And I wish you well Wherever you are I wish you well, well, well (Well, well) [Bridge] Maybe some folks just get nervous by a light That shines so brightly within some through their lives (Some through their lives) But I'm just gonna do my best And find happiness within the test of life Within the test of life, oh yeah (Oh yeah, ooh) The time has come for us to accept just who we are 'Cause in the very end, we have got to be true to the heart, oh, oh [Chorus] I wish you well (Wherever you are) I wish you well (I hope you reach a brighter star) I tell you, I wish you well, well, well And I, and I, and I wish you well I hope you best the best you can be I wish you well Please do the same for me I wish you well, well, well [Outro] Sing it, brothers People around the world have got to pay the price (Uh-huh) Of living in a world that isn't paradise (Oh, oh no) Some are walking 'round with an attitude Either way, this is what I'm gonna do (I'm gonna do) I wish you well (I wish you well, oh, yes, I do now) Maybe you can find the road to happiness (Maybe you can) Following the path that you find to be best (Find some happiness) Pay no attention to the fools that cost us Keep on your road and I know you will be blessed I wish you well (I wish you well) And I wish you well (Wherever you are) I wish you well (May you reach a brighter star) I wish you well
