Wishes Lyrics

Wishes
Wishes
it's late at night in the neighborhood
and the thieves have all gone to bed
they can hear your heartbeat in the distance
as you lay down your weary head
but don't worry, 'cuz the dawn is breaking
in another room halfway around the world
and you can't waste your life wishing upon a star
'cuz if wishes were horses
if wishes were horses... hmmm
if wishes were horses
then dreamers would ride
huh, yes they would
a girl lives her life missing
some things that she never had
spends too much time in the unemployment line
you see in her eyes that it drives her mad
deep within her constitution
her pride and her dignity show through
so she works that dream, 'cuz it's all she can do
if wishes were horses... hmmm
if wishes were horses
she says, if wishes were horses,
then dreamers would ride...
yes, they would
Now I'm looking all around me for the answers
and I know you're looking hard, too
I know what you're thinking
maybe wishes come true...
if wishes were horses
if wishes were horses
I know if wishes were horses
then dreamers would ride...
hoo-hoo-hoo
