I found Aladdin’s lamp on the floor
I picked it up and some smoke came out
A genie started to appear between the smoke
And said:

‘I grant you three wishes, use them wisely;
Where do you start, with this powerful gift?
I grant you three wishes, choose carefully.
What can you fix, what can you change?’

I still couldn’t believe what I saw
I was creeped out and surprised,
Excited and satisfied
Everything seems to be so magical

I wish,
I wish

Can world peace be achieved simply?
A single thought fixing that’s all
Changing hearts, minds and history.
All in a single wish?

End hunger
Share wealth and resources;
Make crops grow, control nature, end greed?
All in a single wish?

Can we cure all ills?
End sickness and pain
Change lives; give hope?
All in a single wish?

Because without hope,
Without an urge for change,
A drive to better,
How can we make our wishes come true?
