Wish

Sherrie Austin

Last night in a dream
An angel came to me
She granted me one wish
And when she asked what it would be

Did I wish that we all could live in peace?
Did I wish for an end to poverty?
No, I wished it away so selfishly
When I wished that you would always love me

This morning when I woke
I found myself in pain
Though it was just a dream
I was so ashamed

Did I wish that we all could live in peace?
Did I wish for an end to poverty?
No, I wished it away so selfishly
When I wished that you would always love me

If I could only dream that dream once more
I wouldn't make the same mistake that I made before
With my one wish, I'd wish for three wishes more
I'd wish that we all could live in peace
I'd wish for an end to poverty
And here's what my last wish would be
I'd wish that you would always love me.
