Wishes

I wish that love would win

Wherever hate is found

I wish that all the little kids

Could sleep safe and sound

I'll hold the wishbone

Pull and close my eyes

And if my wish should come true

Try not to act surprised

I wish that telling truth

Was a normal thing

I wish that in the long dark winter

I might see the spring

Through the naked silhouettes

Of trees the night wind sighs

And if my wish should come true

Try not to act surprised

I wish my time that's left

Will be straight and true

I wish with all my heart

I'll be some use to you

I wish that some day

I'll wake up and be wise

And if my wish should come true

Try not to act surprised
