I wish
I wish
What a weird thing to say
I wish
I wish
We say it every day
We say it as we start the day
We say it when we go and pray
We say it when we talk with friends
We'll say it when we reach the end
I wish that I was taller
I wish that I was smarter
I wish that I was richer
I wish I had a partner
If we wish for all these things
Why don't we try and get them
If we wish to write to change the world
Only we can take up the pen
In order to make things happen
We must sail our ship, be your own captain
You are the captain of your fate
You are the one who shouldn't wait
Wait
Wait for the wind to pass
Wait for the seasons to come and go
Wait for the fates to change
Wait for people to just, know
It's easy to just wish for something
But it's harder to go and get what they seek
How hard it is to do
Yet how easy it is to speak
What if instead of wishing, we went out to chase
Chase what we want
Maybe it's just me, but if we all did that
Wouldn't the world just be a much better place
