you might wish for happiness
wish that things go well
make a wish with secrets kept
quickly wish, before the candles melt

you could wish for fortune
or that this day would end
wish life came stamped with a warning
beware of where you step

wish you'd never done that
or to do it all again
wish the genie in the magic lamp
would give you one more wish

you might wish for true love
while others wish the same
as those down on the corner
wish you had a pocketful of spare change

wish for a different outcome
but wishing don't make it so
you can make a wish and then some
wish out loud that you had known

wish that you had seen that
last wish would turn and bite
if wishes were nothing but fishes
we'd all toss in a line
