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
