Wishing
Take a breathe and make a wish
Something you would surely miss
A little girl in a white frock
Dreaming and watching the clock
A winged horse high in flight
An angel in glorious light
A mermaid splashing by
Wings that could make her fly
Take a breathe and make a wish
Between your toes the mud goes squish
A teenager in a gray dress
To her lips a flower pressed
Friends to make it all right
The ability to have the gift of sight
Wishing that her books were real
Knowing people who would steal
Take a breathe and make a wish
Ignorance is truly bliss
A women in a darker gown
On her lips there is a frown
Money to pay off her debt
The world is just one big threat
A man who will treat her right
A kiss on a new yearsβ night
Take a step back and remember the way
Things were in previous days
So happy and bright
So full of light
Whatever happened to the wishes?
They disappear because we are suspicious
We donβt believe that they are real
The older we are, the less we feel.
And the more taxes we pay
