I'd like to think I was a lover 

if I could ever bring us back together 

I'd like to think I was a father 

if I could get together with my children 

I'd like to think I was a friend 

so let us begin 

I'd like to think I was your friend 

we can start again 

in the light of things

in the light of things 

in the light of things 

I'd like to think I was a thinker 

if I could even get my thoughts together 

I'd like to think I was still a child

if I could get together with my father 

I'd like to think that I can see right in front of me

I'd like to think that I can breathe in everything 

in the light of things 

in the light of things 

in the light of things 

in the light of things 

I'd like to think I was a lover 

if I could ever bring us back together
