I wish

I wish i wish i wish in vain,
For the stars to shine tonight,
To light my misted path,
Frightened away the lingering ghosts

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
that daddy will come sailing home,
to wipe away the falling tears,
make mummy stop crying herself to sleep

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
before my eyes the world explode,
and watch the sparkles of former lives,
float silently down in a blanket of dust

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
my pretend friends were alive and well,
always to be in their kind company,
so i don't have to sleep alone

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
that my love wasn't invisible,
all her pain i could make go away,
just close my eyes and disappear

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
that i was strong enough to take it,
like older sister be brave for mummy,
fight away the fears and all the worry

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
if i leave my window open tonight,
Peter pan will come swooping down,
save me from this tearful real world

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
that i belonged to someone special,
a hand to hold and a cheek to kiss,
knowing you make someone smile

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
the nightmares will fade away,
sleep soundly for one peaceful night,
to have one lonely night without them

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
my voice was a little louder,
for one to hear over the deafening crowds,
so i know i haven't forgotten how to talk

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
the empty chest would fill up with love,
have a warm glow float inside,
and know its because i am a good girl

i wish i wish i wish in vain,
to stop wishing all these wishes,
that a broken heart knows never will come true,
lonely and longing for my wish of wishing to come alive
