I found Aladdin’s lamp on the floor
I picked it up and some smoke came out
A genie started to appear between the smoke
And said:

‘I grant you three wishes, use them wisely;
Where do you start, with this powerful gift?
I grant you three wishes, choose carefully.
What can you fix, what can you change?’

I still couldn’t believe what I saw
I was creeped out and surprised,
Excited and satisfied
Everything seems to be so magical

I wish,
I wish

Can world peace be achieved simply?
A single thought fixing that’s all
Changing hearts, minds and history.
All in a single wish?

End hunger
Share wealth and resources;
Make crops grow, control nature, end greed?
All in a single wish?

Can we cure all ills?
End sickness and pain
Change lives; give hope?
All in a single wish?

Because without hope,
Without an urge for change,
A drive to better,
How can we make our wishes come true?

War
Shooting, bombing, killing, fighting
Why are we fighting in this stupid war
It seems like we do it just for fun
Playing so hard with our gun

Like tanks are toys
With kids inside
Starting a battle against each other
Even if the weather is horrible

War destroyed families
Whether you’re in the same party or not
There is no right or wrong
Every thing is a dreadful knot

Soldiers are killing innocent people
Everyone is bleeding and on the floor
They are scared and in fear
No wonder where they disappear

Young soldiers combat
In such freezing and deadly weather
While people are mad and going insane
The rest of us are yelling “It's unfair”
