The Wish Song

Pennies in fountains, Candles on cakes
Starlight that shines through a glass windowpane
These are the shapes that our wishes will take as we grow
And I wished for a Barbie and pink roller-skates
I wished for that sweet boy to ask for a date
And though most of my wishes have passed
Some have stayed as I go.

Cause I still wish I knew the answers before they asked the questions
I wish that the sky could be nothing but blue
I wish mothers and daughters could always be best friends
And I wish for a love that is true
And I wish that all the big girls could feel free to dance
Just like all the little girls do
And if heaven would grant me just one single chance
I would wish all these wishes for you.

I’ve learned to be patient, cause wishes take time
They may come true tomorrow or years down the line
And our hopes give them life and a chance that they might come to be.

Cause I still wish I knew the answers before they asked the questions
I wish that each mouth could have plenty of food
I wish fathers would always encourage their sons
And I wish for a love that is true.
And I wish that every heart could know what it is to give love
And be loved in return.
And I wish for strength, to live this life well
And to pass on the lessons I’ve learned.

Starlight, star bright
Very first star I see tonight
Oh I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight.

Cause I still wish I knew the answers before they asked the questions
I wish that the sky could be nothing but blue
I wish mothers and daughters could always be best friends
And I wish for a love that is true
And I wish that every heart could know what it is
To give love and be loved in return.
Oh God give me strength to live this life well
And to pass on the lessons I’ve learned.
