I know I may be wishing

On a world

That may never be

But I'll keep on wishing

No matter how hopeless

Or foolish

It may seem

I'll keep on wishing

I'll toss my coins in the fountain

Look for clovers in grassy lawns

Search for shooting stars in the night

Cross my fingers and dream on

I know I may be dreaming

Of a world

Far from present day reality

But I'll keep on dreaming

No matter how unrealistic

Or naive

It may seem

Always keep dreaming

And toss your coins in the fountain

Look for clovers in grassy lawns

Search for shooting stars in the night

Cross your fingers and dream on

We must always be thinking

Of a world

As a place of infinite possibilities

And always keep thinking

No matter how hopeless

Or foolish

It may seem

Always keep thinking

And toss our coins in the fountain

Look for clovers in grassy lawns

Search for shooting stars in the night

Cross our fingers and dream on

I'll keep on wishing

We must always keep dreaming

Of a world

With equality and justice

Thinking

There could be a world

Without poverty and sickness

Wishing

Of a world

Without hunger and homelessness

Dreaming

Of a world

Where all people live in peace

Dreaming

Of a world

Dreaming

On a world
