I go to that wishing well

Stand looking down

So many thoughts cloud my brain

As I think about their lives

I think of all the things I'd do

If wishes could come true



Each time I leave that wishing well

I hold my head up high

Because I'm not afraid to dream

I'm not afraid to cry

I think of all the things I'd do

If wishes could come true



If only there were peace on Earth

(only wishes don't come true)

If only justice walked in blue

(only wishes don't come true)

If only everybody cared

(only wishes don't come true)

If only we could work together

If only we could never say never:

I think of all the things I'd do

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

I think of all the things I'd do

If wishes could come true



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
