Wish

I wish we woke up gladly every single day
to count our many blessings, the ones we never say
I wish we had the power to hold on to our truth
in the darkest hour it would still shine through

I wish I could see clearly what I'm here to do
I wish I didn't always compare myself to you
I wish I had forgotten all the things I learnt
that do not benefit us, only bring us hurt

Oh oh oh oh I wish we were happier inside
oh oh oh and I wish we would pull together this time

I wish I never longed for the home I left behind
I wish my only focus was the chapter at the time
I wish I could be stronger, when I have to let you down
I wish I could hold on to the times I made you proud

I wish I never judged you, in that unhelpful way
I wish I always loved you and what you had to say
I wish you knew I praised you, more often than you'd guess
so you'd feel celebrated, always at your best

Oh oh oh oh I wish we were happier inside
oh oh oh oh and I wish we would pull together this time

I wish you knew how deeply my raw emotions beat
they run like wild horses into everything I speak
I wish you knew I suffered, you have company
you're not alone to fear things as long as you've got me

I wish we woke up gladly every single day
to count our many blessings, the ones we never say
I wish we had the power to hold on to our truth
in the darkest hour, it would still shine through

And I say, oh oh oh oh I wish we were happier inside
oh oh oh oh I wish we would pull together this time

Oh oh oh oh and I wish we were happier inside
oh oh oh and there's nothing more to wish for
