We Wish

I dream a world tonight in silence
I wish a world where dreams came true
A street not shattered by the violence
A place where hate cannot seep through
Behold the baby while he’s sleeping
So calm, so peaceful in his bed
He cannot feel the war that’s raging

Outside his ivy wall
Someday he’ll show us all
The way it will be done instead

And we – We wish -
That love becomes for all a world affair
And we – We wish -
That every heart would open up in prayer
And we – We wish
Yeah, we – We wish
That every eye was colorblind
And fortune smiled on every kind
That everyone would wish the same as we

If there is strength in deprivation
And only weakness found in greed
Then let a poor man run the nation
For he alone can feel the need
And if our daughters have a future
Our sons must learn from the past
Together pass along the wisdom

To others age to age
Time turns another page
Can’t stop the world it’s turning fast

And we – We wish -
That love becomes for all a world affair
And we – We wish -
That every heart would open up in prayer
And we – We wish
Yeah, we – We wish
That every eye was colorblind
And fortune smiled on every kind
That everyone would wish the same as we

There is a cure for our affliction
But a mind that’s closed is hard to treat
Hope is a powerful addiction
Nothing can heal like love
Works like a wonder drug
When you can find it on the street

And we – We wish -
That love becomes for all a world affair
And we – We wish -
That every heart would open up in prayer
And we – We wish
Yeah, we – We wish
That every eye was color-blind
And fortune smiled on every kind
The poor, the sick, the old, the weak
The ones that know but cannot speak

The ones that speak but do not know
The ones who stand and tell them so
The weak of will, the broken of spirit
The ones who shout – will no one hear it
The ones who try to make it all rhyme
The patient God who gives us time
The rebel heart that just won’t rest
The good, the bad, will all be blessed

And we – We wish -
That love becomes for all a world affair
And we – We wish -
That every heart would open up in prayer
And we – We wish -
Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish
We – We Wish –
Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish
We – We Wish –
Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish
We – We Wish –
Na na, na, na na na, na na, tonight we wish
Na na, na, na na na, na na
