I wish you freedom.
I wish you peace.
I wish you night's of stars,
That beckon you to sleep.
I wish you heart ache,
That leaves you more of a man.
I wish I could be there, but I can't.
I wish you places, that sit so still.
That people never ever change.
They never ever will.
I wish I could hold you,
And make you understand.
I wish I could be there, but I can't.
Be good for your mother.
'Cause she'll need a hand to hold.
Boy she loves you,
More than you'll ever know.
There are rhymes and there are reasons.
And times when nothing stayed the same,
But you'll know my love still remains.
I wish you wisdom.
I wish you years.
I wish you armies,
To conquer all your fears.
I wish you courage,
for all that life demands.
I wish I could be there, but I can't.
Be good for your momma.
'Cause she'll need a hand to hold.
Boy she loves you,
More than you'll ever know.
There are rhymes and there are reasons.
And times where nothing stayed the same,
But you'll know my love still remains.
I wish we were together.
I wish I was home.
I wish there was nights where,
I was never alone.
I know I've said it,
But I'll say it once again.
I wish I could be there, but I can't.
I wish you peace.
I wish you night's of stars,
That beckon you to sleep.
I wish you heart ache,
That leaves you more of a man.
I wish I could be there, but I can't.
I wish you places, that sit so still.
That people never ever change.
They never ever will.
I wish I could hold you,
And make you understand.
I wish I could be there, but I can't.
Be good for your mother.
'Cause she'll need a hand to hold.
Boy she loves you,
More than you'll ever know.
There are rhymes and there are reasons.
And times when nothing stayed the same,
But you'll know my love still remains.
I wish you wisdom.
I wish you years.
I wish you armies,
To conquer all your fears.
I wish you courage,
for all that life demands.
I wish I could be there, but I can't.
