If I Wish

Would you be mine if I wished it hard enough?

Would you be mine if I wished it hard enough?

My hands may be rough from clinging to memories

And my body too weary, still searching for serenity

But I would lift my tired arms to carry you home

So would you be mine if I wished you my own?

Would you be mine if I wanted you badly enough?

I said, would you be mine if I wanted you badly enough?

And my words may seem off the cuff, but I practiced them in my mirror

Oh, just wishing you were nearer, but your eyes just slip away

But I would walk a thousand miles each night and day

To bring you back home and call you my baby

But still only prayers fall from my lips

Sending you peace and hope and all God's gifts

And I know you'll be fine

I know you're strong, I know you're tough

And I know you'll be mine if I only wish hard enough

Would I be yours if you wished it hard enough?

Said, would I be yours if you wished it hard enough?

And my heart has been bruised by long hours and overuse

And I don't know how much I can do to be good to you

So I will try to fix what I can to make myself whole

So I can be yours in my body and my soul

I want to see just how good we can be

It's a world of possibilities

So come over here and show me how badly you want me

But still only prayers fall from my lips

Sending you peace and hope and all God's gifts

And I know you'll be fine

I know you're strong, I know you're tough

And I know you'll be mine if I only wish hard enough
