I wish I may
I wish I might
I wish it all
Would turn out right
When I see the shape
This world is in
I can't help
But to keep praying

I wish I might
I wish I may
I wish it all
Would go away
The fall of man
The rise of sin
I can't help
But to keep praying

I wish I may and might
All I like
But only prayer
Can change a life
From this wretched
Man I am
I can't help
But to keep praying
