Wish life was everlasting
Like we like to pretend
Wouldn’t it be fantatic
If it never had to end
Wish love ruled supreme
And we never went to war
At least this is my dream
That we stop keeping score

Wish that life was
Everything we want it to be
If it were then maybe
At last we could all be free

Wish that global warming
Was nothing but a myth
And not the nagging reality
That we’re forced to live with
Wish we would treat each other
Like we want to be treated
We’re all sister and brother
The cycle of life is repeated

Wish that life was
Everything we want it to be
If it were then maybe
At last we could all be free

Wish my wishes came true
And the whole world was brand new
Imagine what we could do
If we didn’t have to go through
All the things we could avoid
I’m not being paranoid
What I’d like to see encased
Is the world as a better place

Wish we could all agree
To do the things we can
Then maybe we could see
What it means to be human
Wish that you and me
Always saw eye to eye
Then maybe we could be
As committed as we try

Wish life was everlasting
Like we like to pretend
Wouldn’t it be fantatic
If it never had to end
Wish that life was
Everything we want it to be
If it were then maybe
At last we could all be free
