We Wish

I dream a world tonight in silence

I wish a world where dreams came true

A street not shattered by the violence

A place where hate cannot seep through

Behold the baby while he’s sleeping

So calm, so peaceful in his bed

He cannot feel the war that’s raging

Outside his ivy wall

Someday he’ll show us all

The way it will be done instead

And we – We wish -

That love becomes for all a world affair

And we – We wish -

That every heart would open up in prayer

And we – We wish

Yeah, we – We wish

That every eye was colorblind

And fortune smiled on every kind

That everyone would wish the same as we

If there is strength in deprivation

And only weakness found in greed

Then let a poor man run the nation

For he alone can feel the need

And if our daughters have a future

Our sons must learn from the past

Together pass along the wisdom

To others age to age

Time turns another page

Can’t stop the world it’s turning fast

And we – We wish -

That love becomes for all a world affair

And we – We wish -

That every heart would open up in prayer

And we – We wish

Yeah, we – We wish

That every eye was colorblind

And fortune smiled on every kind

That everyone would wish the same as we

There is a cure for our affliction

But a mind that’s closed is hard to treat

Hope is a powerful addiction

Nothing can heal like love

Works like a wonder drug

When you can find it on the street

And we – We wish -

That love becomes for all a world affair

And we – We wish -

That every heart would open up in prayer

And we – We wish

Yeah, we – We wish

That every eye was color-blind

And fortune smiled on every kind

The poor, the sick, the old, the weak

The ones that know but cannot speak

The ones that speak but do not know

The ones who stand and tell them so

The weak of will, the broken of spirit

The ones who shout – will no one hear it

The ones who try to make it all rhyme

The patient God who gives us time

The rebel heart that just won’t rest

The good, the bad, will all be blessed

And we – We wish -

That love becomes for all a world affair

And we – We wish -

That every heart would open up in prayer

And we – We wish -

Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish

We – We Wish –

Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish

We – We Wish –

Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish

We – We Wish –

Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish

Na na, na, na na na, na na
