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
