I wish all this was taught

I wish all this was taught
                                    by Jibrael Jos
To Write an ode, To the One You Love
    To Pen a Thought for those who have naught
To raise your voice, Without Asking for a price
     I wish all this was taught

To Sing a song, When Things go wrong
    To Laugh a lot, when in a tight spot
To See the gain, When we are in pain
     I wish all this was taught

To Laugh aloud, When jeered by a crowd
      To Dream a lot, When all is lost
To Praise the Lord, When put to a sword
      I wish all this was taught
