I wish I was a Christian
and knew what to believe
I could learn a lot of rules
to put my mind at ease
I wish I had the money
to live just like a queen
with emeralds and cashmere
and every little thing
I wish the ones who love me
would never go away
but had to have my company
every single day

But who do I believe
in this world without sound?
who do I believe
once they put you in the ground?
who do I believe
when the night's falling down?

I wish I lived in Paris
and dreamed in French each night
and had a dozen children
and raised them up just right
I wish I was John Lennon
free as a bird
and all of you who sit and stare
would hang on my every word
I wish I had the future
tied up with a string
then I would never feel the blows
the revolution brings

Who do I believe
in this world without sound?
Who do I believe
once they put you in the ground?
Who do I believe
when the night's falling down?

I wish I was a Christian
but I cannot believe
cause no one in the Bible
craves my company
