How I Wish
HOW I WISH I COULD CHANGE
THE MINDS OF THE WORLD
TO FIND BETTER WAYS
THAN FIGHTING IN WARS
HOW I WISH I COULD TEACH
A CHILD TO SING
SHOW HER THE SMILES
AND JOY THAT IT BRINGS
HOW I WISH I COULD LEARN
ALL THAT I STILL DON'T KNOW
HOW TO BE A BETTER MAN
HOW TO NEVER GROW OLD
HOW I WISH I COULD WRITE
A SONG FULL OF SMILES
THAT COULD BRING US TOGETHER
IF JUST FOR A WHILE
HOW I WISH THERE WAS TIME
FOR ALL THIS AND MORE
TO SEE THE CHANGE COME
AND TO WATCH IT ALL GROW
HOW I WISH I COULD WISH
AND HAVE IT COME TRUE
NOT JUST FOR MYSELF
BUT FOR ALL OF YOU TOO
HOW I WISH FOR THE BEST
IN ALL THAT YOU DO
MAY ALL OF YOUR WISHES
COME TRUE FOR YOU
