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
