I'd give you the moon
|
But you'd never the warmth of the sunshine
|
I'd give you the world
|
But exactly what would that do?
|
|
I'd promise you wings to fly
|
But how would you ever learn to run?
|
So I wish you all you need to be than I could be
|
This is what I wish for you
|
|
I wish you rainy days
|
So you can know the beauty of a clear blue sky
|
I wish you falling leaves
|
So you understand that seasons change
|
|
And if I gave you the mountains would you learn to climb?
|
I pray you'll always see the forest through the trees
|
This is what I wish for you
|
This is what I wish for you
|
|
If I could I'd say the word
|
And chase your fears away
|
And I'd stay right by your side
|
And point the way that you should take
|
|
But this is your life
|
This is your story
|
And when all is done and said
|
Say you lived with no regret
|
|
I wish you ocean breeze
|
And rivers that bring you everything you need
|
I wish the air you breathe
|
Is all that you'll ever need
|
|
And I wish you nights of love
|
And days of joy and shoulders when you cry
|
And just enough hellos to get you through goodbye
|
This is what I wish for you
|
|
I pray one day you'll have a home
|
With arms that open wide
|
And you'll have someone who loves you
|
Always by your side
|
|
And when you lose your will to try
|
I wish you wings to fly, I wish you wings to fly
|
I wish you everything you need
|
This is what I wish for you, this is what I wish for you
|
|
