I Wish You Well lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes people, they don't hear the words they say
And then they cause themselves a case of utter dismay
I've seen it happen time again
Too many people get caught up in what they see
Who they think they should be and are never really happy
And they hate themselves all through their lives
So they'll try to hurt me, but I'll not be scorned
Against an attitude I can say I have never worn
I just turn my feelings aside, then I fill myself with pride

[Chorus]
Then I wish you well
Wherever you are
I wish you well
I hope you reach a brighter star
I wish you well, well, well, oh

[Verse 2]
Somebody told me they don't like the way I speak
Then I said, "Oh, what quick knowledge do you seek?"
And I left them standing there alone
It's time that we begin to accept just who we are
'Cause in the very end, we have got to be true to heart
(Be true to the heart, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
And I wish you well
I hope you'll be the best you can be
I wish you well
I hope you do the same for me
I wish you well, well, well
And I wish you well
Wherever you are
I wish you well, well, well (Well, well)

[Bridge]
Maybe some folks just get nervous by a light
That shines so brightly within some through their lives
(Some through their lives)
But I'm just gonna do my best
And find happiness within the test of life
Within the test of life, oh yeah (Oh yeah, ooh)
The time has come for us to accept just who we are
'Cause in the very end, we have got to be true to the heart, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I wish you well
(Wherever you are)
I wish you well
(I hope you reach a brighter star)
I tell you, I wish you well, well, well
And I, and I, and I wish you well
I hope you best the best you can be
I wish you well
Please do the same for me
I wish you well, well, well
[Outro]
Sing it, brothers
People around the world have got to pay the price (Uh-huh)
Of living in a world that isn't paradise (Oh, oh no)
Some are walking 'round with an attitude
Either way, this is what I'm gonna do (I'm gonna do)
I wish you well (I wish you well, oh, yes, I do now)
Maybe you can find the road to happiness (Maybe you can)
Following the path that you find to be best (Find some happiness)
Pay no attention to the fools that cost us
Keep on your road and I know you will be blessed
I wish you well (I wish you well)
And I wish you well (Wherever you are)
I wish you well (May you reach a brighter star)
I wish you well
