Wishing Well

I go to that wishing well

Stand looking down

So many thoughts cloud my brain

As I think about their lives

If wishes could come true

I think of all the things I'd do

Each time I leave that wishing well

Because I'm not afraid to dream

I hold my head up high

I'm not afraid to cry

I think of all the things I'd do

If wishes could come true

(only wishes don't come true)

If only there were peace on Earth

If only justice walked in blue

(only wishes don't come true)

If only everybody cared

If only we could never say never:

(only wishes don't come true)

I think of all the things I'd do

If only we could work together

If wishes could come true

Each time I leave that wishing well

I hold my head up high

I've got a thousand wishes

And I'm not afraid to try

If wishes could come true

I think of all the things I'd do

I tossed a penny in the well

A useless gesture, just as well

I watched it fall

A penny for your thoughts -

Do you care at all?

I think of all the things I'd do

If wishes could come true
