The Sentiment is Mine

So I'm not a songwriter (or a singer - except in the shower, and then in addition to all my thinking, I'm a pretty phenomenal singer. must be the acoustics... ha!) but I'm pretty sure if I could write a song - it may not be that far off from this one:


I Wish by Point of Grace

I wish I didn’t feel so helpless
I wish I didn’t act so selfish
I 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

I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold ‘em and to love ‘em
The way I’m always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I wish there was a cure for cancer
I wish somebody had an answer
And all God’s children, never got hurt
I wish Eve never bit 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

I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold ‘em and to love ‘em
The way I’m always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

For everything I am wishing
I know someone up there is listening
So, I say my prayers when I go to bed
Pray my wishes come true

I know wishes come true.
