| I go to that wishing well
|
| Stand looking down
|
| So many thoughts cloud my brain
|
| As I think about their lives
|
| If wishes could come true
|
| I think of all the things I’d do
|
| Each time I leave that wishing well
|
| Because I’m not afraid to dream
|
| I hold my head up high
|
| I’m not afraid to cry
|
| I think of all the things I’d do
|
| If wishes could come true
|
| (only wishes don’t come true)
|
| If only there were peace on Earth
|
| If only justice walked in blue
|
| (only wishes don’t come true)
|
| If only everybody cared
|
| If only we could never say never:
|
| (only wishes don’t come true)
|
| I think of all the things I’d do
|
| If only we could work together
|
| If wishes could come true
|
| Each time I leave that wishing well
|
| I hold my head up high
|
| I’ve got a thousand wishes
|
| And I’m not afraid to try
|
| If wishes could come true
|
| I think of all the things I’d do
|
| I tossed a penny in the well
|
| A useless gesture, just as well
|
| I watched it fall
|
| A penny for your thoughts —
|
| Do you care at all?
|
| I think of all the things I’d do
|
| If wishes could come true |
