I wish I could've done more…

Of all the songs the Bellamy Brothers have done, my favorite is the one below.

The lyrics are underneath.  

My favorite part is the chorus.  The part I put in blue is actually from an Islamic du'a.  I wonder if they knew that?


Lyrics:

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed I hit the highway
Naive and full of beans and Sunday learning
I slowly found out life would not bend my way
As my skin grew thick, my soul began churnin'

From all of that I should've picked up something
A lesson about the wheres, and whys and hows
Born yesterday while searching for tomorrow
Leaning on the universe for these unwritten vows

For those that I've wronged, I ask for forgiveness
For those that I gave comfort, I wish I could've done more
For those I could not rescue, I pray for understanding
For those who've helped me, I'm grateful
For giving me wings to soar…

I am stronger now 'cause I have shown my weakness
I am fearless because I've been afraid
I am wiser only after being foolish
More spiritual from prayers that I have prayed

For those that I have wronged, I ask for forgiveness
For those that I have comforted, I wish I could've done more
For those I could not rescue, I pray for understanding
For those who have helped me, I am grateful
For giving me wings to soar…

Enlighten what is dark in me
Bind what is bruised in me
Heal what is sick in me
Revive the peace and love in me

For those that I have wronged, I ask for forgiveness
For those that I have comforted, I wish I could've done more
For those I could not rescue, I pray for understanding
For those who have helped me, I am grateful
For giving me wings to soar…
