I wish you freedom
I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars that beckon you to sleep
I wish you heart ache that leaves you more of a man
I wish i could be there... but I cant
I wish you places that sit so still
but people never ever change and never ever will
I wish I could hold you and make you understand
I wish I could be there... but I cant
(chorus)
be good for your mother
cause shell need a hand to hold
boy she loves you
more than youll ever know
there are rhymes and there are reasons and times when nothing stayed the same
but you know my love still remains
I wish you wisdom
I wish you years
I wish you armies to conquer all your fears
I wish you courage for all that life demands
I wish I could be there... but I cant
be good for your mother cause shell need a hand to hold
boy she loves you more than youll ever know
there are rhymes and there are reasons and times when nothing stayed the same
but you know my love still remains
I wish we were together
I wish I was home
I wish there were nights where I was never alone
I know I've said it but ill say it once again
I wish I could be there... but I cant
