I wish someone would tell me that it's really okay
To let go of my feelings, not lock them away.
I wish someone would tell me that it all will be fine,
And that one day control of my life will be mine.
It hurts me to realize how different things are
From that day long ago when I wished on a star.
When my dreams were just forming and my heart was still pure,
When hope was eternal and my future assured.
I wish someone would tell me that dreams can come true
That my heart is not broken and hope will win through.
I wish someone would tell me that it's never too late
And that some things are held in the hands of fate.
I want to believe things will turn out all right
And that, no matter what, I should keep up the fight.
I want to be cherished, to feel loved and secure.
But each day comes with sadness that I have to endure.
I wish someone would tell me I have nothing to fear,
And that one day the confusion will all become clear.
I wish someone would see me for the person I am
And not as a pawn in their great master plan.
For now I will dream and forget all my doubts,
As you never quite know how life will turn out.
I'll hold onto the hope that my dreams will become real
And the love that I crave, I'll eventually feel.
I wish someone would tell me it's worth all the pain,
And that there's always a rainbow after the rain.
