I Wish

I wish i didn't feel so helpless

I wish i didn't act so selfish

I wish i didn't wring my hands night and day

My hair was a little smoother

My jeans fit a little bit looser

And i always knew the right things to say

And i wish i wouldn't hide

What's been going on inside

And i wish you wouldn't get scared and run away

I wish i was doing better

With all the things that matter

Guess i got some learning to do

I wish everyone had someone

To hold them and to love them

The way i'm always gonna love you

I wish wishes came true

I wish there was a cure for cancer

I wish somebody had an answer

And all God's children never got hurt

I wish eve never bit that apple

Young men never went to battle

And i didn't get so mad at the world

I wish i was more like Jesus

And could pick up all the pieces

And make a better life for my baby girl

I wish i was doing better

With all the things that matter

Guess i got some learning to do

I wish everyone had someone

To hold them and to love them

The way i'm always gonna love you

I wish wishes came true

For everything i'm wishing

I know someone's up there listening

So i say my prayers when i go to bed

Oh, i pray my wishes come true

I wish i was doing better

With all the things that matter

Guess i got some learning to do

I wish everyone had someone

To hold them and to love them

The way i'm always gonna love you

I wish wishes came true

I know wishes come true

I wish

I wish
