The Wish
Lyrics
Happy as jingle bells
and bright as shining stars
Christmas carols sung aloud
from pink punch buggy cars

The snow has fallen more than once
on cold, calm winter nights
I snuggle in my bunk bed
as I'm tucked in nice and tight

and if I had just one wish
to put beneath my Christmas tree
it would be to shed some love
on this world from inside me

and if I had just one wish
I'd ask Santa Clause to bring
some peace and understanding
from sea to shining sea

but Mommy most of all I wish
that every kid could be
loved the way that I am loved
like the way that you love me.

I believe in innocense yeah
I believe in dreams
I do not believe in prejudice
because someone is not like me

The sweet scent of an evergreen
fills the crisp December air
Gifts are wrapped while candles burn
I got so much love to share

and if I had just one wish
to put beneath my Christmas tree
it would be to shed some love
on this world from inside me

and if I had just one wish
I'd ask Santa Clause to bring
some peace and understanding
from sea to shining sea

but Mommy most of all I wish
that every kid could be
loved the way that I am loved
like the way that you love me.

Yeah, Mommy most of all I wish
that every kid could be
loved the way that I am loved
like the way that you love me.
