All of you today,
Will wish for your dreams.
For that one guy or girl you love,
Or just for some banana ice cream.

You'll wish for the things,
That you think matter.
If you are going to wish for something,
Wish for food on an empty platter.

Wish for the ones who need it,
Not for the things you don't need.
Can't you see the wrong in that?
Can't you see the greed?

What about our soldiers?
They die for our freedom.
But no go ahead,
Wish for you to be happy forever.

No, don't be selfish,
If you are going to wish make it good.
Wish to bring the troops home,
Not your Hollywood debut.

Foolishly believe that the date will make a difference.
Whisper to sky so you may receive your decadence.
Please spend this time with the ones you love,
Not for a wish but to join me up above.

I don't believe in wishes.
For nothing in life is free.
Except one thing,
Which is me.
