Wish I didn't feel so helpless
Wish I didn't act so selfish
Wish I didn't wring my hands night and day

My hair was a little bit 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

Wish I was doing better with all the things that matter
I guess I got some learning to do
Wish everyone had someone who'll hold 'em and who'll love 'em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I wish there was a cure for cancer
Wish somebody had an answer
And all God's children never got hurt
I wish Eve never broke 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

Oh, wish I was doing better with all the things that matter
I guess I got some learning to do
Wish everyone had someone who'll hold 'em and who'll love 'em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true
Wishes came true

For everything I'm wishing I know Someone's up there listening
So I'll say my prayers when I go to bed

Ha-ha
Oh I'll pray my wishes come true
Ha-ha

Oh, wish I was doing better with all the things that matter
Guess I got some learning to do
Oh, wish everyone had someone who'll hold 'em and who'll love 'em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true
Wishes came true

I know wishes come true
I wish (I wish)
I wish (I wish)
