A Thousand Wishes
If I could have a thousand wishes
I'd wish that man would swim with fishes.
I'd wish that girl would find her head
I'd wish the creak out of my bed.
Wish the life I want to know
Wish upon things; how they should go.
For the lost sock my foot never knew
For the boy; his eyes were blue.
I'd wish up a storm
I'd wish up a squall
I'd wish the party wasn't so loud down the hall.
There'd be candied health
And the exercise chair
Instant wealth
And easy-straight hair.
Wish upon wishes
Change upon change
That would go on and multiply
Again and again.
But I bet I could do
Really I could
For just a few wishes
Please if you would.
I'd wish up some love
All good and sweet
And sprinkle it well
At everyones feet.
Tracks to the mall
Tracks down my hall
Tracks to the grump
Who lives in St. Paul.
And then pretty soon
With the love everywhere
It'd all float up
And into our hair.
Someone would breathe it
And cough and sneeze
And the whole world would catch
A happy disease.
So for all of the wishes
I thought I would wish
From the smallish to large
And almost biggish.
I don't need them I guess
When it's all said and done
I'd just wish for love
To fix everyone.
