Hidden Song

* Victimized, Bereaved, and disappointed, seemingly at every turn, I still resist feeling defeated, or cynical. I have come to believe that anger and grudges are burning embers in the heart not worth carrying though life. The best response to those who wound me is to get away from them - and wish them well.* [[ In the vinyl version, the lyrics contains this as kind of context for the song. ]]
 
All that you can do is wish them well
All that you can do is wish them well
(Wish them well)

All that you can do is wish them well
All that you can do is wish them well
(Wish them well)

*Spirits turned bitter by the poison of envy
Always angry and dissatisfied*
Even the lost ones, the frightened *and mean ones*
Even the ones with a devil inside

*Thank your stars you're not that way
Turn your back and walk away*
Don't even pause and ask them why
Turn around and say goodbye

(Wish them well)
*All that you can do is wish them well* [[Well... I know what this song kind of means. But sometimes, an out-of-context verse, in the given precise moment can make the song totally awesome. Maybe sad-awesome. But awesome anyway. I'm feeling homesick... and all that I can do is wish them well. ]]
(Wish them well)
All that you can do is wish them well
(Wish them well)

*People who judge without a measure of mercy*
All the victims who will never learn
Even the lost ones, you can only give up on
Even the ones who make you burn

Thank your stars you're not that way
Turn your back and walk away
Don't even pause and ask them why
Turn around and say goodbye
Don't even pause and ask them why
Turn around and say goodbye

*The ones who've done you wrong
Oh the ones who pretended to be so strong*
The grudges you've held for so long
It's not worth singing that same sad song
The ones who've done you wrong
Oh the ones who pretended to be so strong
The grudges you've held for so long
It's not worth singing that same sad song

*Thank your stars you're not that way*
*Turn your back and walk away*
*Don't even pause and ask them why*
Turn around and say goodbye

Thank your stars you're not that way
Turn your back and walk away
Don't even pause and ask them why
Turn around and say goodbye

All that you can do is wish them well
(Wish them well)
All that you can do is wish them well
(Wish them well)
All that you can do is wish them well
Even though you're going through hell
Just keep on going
(Wish them well)
Let the demons dwell

Just wish them well
(Wish them well)
Just wish them well
(Wish them well)
Do they know you're going through hell
(Wish them well)
(Wish them well)
