So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1975)

As you can see, this is actually a song and the reason why I put in this 'book' is because I can still remember the first time when I heard the song and my mom singing that part. She explained the song to me and I loved the story behind it!  Teared me up 🙃
I think I'm going to put more songs in, if that's okay?
