One Wish Away

Katra Solopuro

Once upon a time
Little girl, age of nine
Had wings so that she could fly
She wished upon a star
Give me safe and guard
My way if I go too far

Can't you see what I see?
I felt so alive
When all my dreams
Were just one wish away

Somewhere above
The promised Eden of love
Held her young heart unharmed,
Unharmed

By closing her eyes
She could easily rise
And leave all the tears behind

Wonder why I can no longer fly
Away from the pain I feel every night

Can't you see what I see?
I felt so alive
When all my dreams
Were just one wish away

From right to wrong
Virtue to vice
Eyes of a child
Cannot see hidden evil inside

Can't you see what I see?
I felt so alive
When all my dreams
Were just one wish away
