Wish I Had Answered |
| Come and follow me, you know the master said |
| Don’t wait till tomorrow, oh you may be dead |
| I was you and I wanted to play |
| Said I’d wait just one more day |
| Don’t you know I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Said I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Oh I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| When he called |
| And one morning I felt the pain |
| Felt like death done sung my name |
| Started to tremble deep down inside yeah |
| And I felt the fear of the swelling tide |
| Don’t you know I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Said I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Oh I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| When he called |
| So many doctors stood around my bed |
| One walked away, oh he shook his head |
| Said «your fever 102» |
| Said «I don’t believe her, I can pull you through» |
| Don’t you know I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Said I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Oh I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| When he called |
| Then the fever rose to 103 |
| The doctor walked around and took a look at me |
| Oh it rose to 104 |
| He said «Oh death is knocking at your door» |
| Oh it rose to 105 |
| Said «I don’t believe that you will survive» |
| Lord I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Oh Lord I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Oh Lord I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| When he called |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Don’t you know I wished |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Oh Lord I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| Oh Lord I wish |
| (Wish I had answered) |
| When he called |
