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 more 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
And this is what I wish for you
And 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
And 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
And this is what I wish for you
And this is what I wish for you
