The Thief of Wishes

In the square of an old French town there was a wishing well
And the lovers and the lepers were drawn to its magic tale
They cast their fortunes and they blindly hoped away
And their lives were changed by some loving hand of fate
Oh, and the sick were cured on sight
And the estranged, they reunite
And the barren vine, they all grew ripe
And everything was alright
Everything was alright
Everything in this great, big world, it was alright
It was all, It was all, it was all, it was alright
Everything in the world, it was alright
Enter Nathaniel, who was more monster than boy
And he eyed the fountain's treasures like the toddler eyes the toy
He reached his hand into the blue
And he filled his pockets full of gold
Oh, and what happens next could have never been foretold
Oh, the remission, well, it subsides
And the lovers, they all divide
And the fruit died on the vine
And everything was not alright
Everything in the world was not alright
We were far, we were far, we were far away from alright
Everything in the world was not alright
Oh, Nathan, what did you do?
How could someone so young be so cruel?
How do we fix this, what do we do?
Can we wish it away and make it all new?
That's it, that's just what we'll do
I've got a coin and I'll give to you
You could make everything alright
With just one wish you could make everything alright
Throw the coin in the fountain and make everything alright
You could make it alright
