Lyrics

[00:15.02] I'd give you the moon,
[00:16.20] but you'd never know the warmth of the sunshine,
[00:20.95] I'd give you the world,
[00:23.88] but actually what would that do.
[00:27.31] I'd promise you wings to fly,
[00:32.61] but how would you ever learn to run,
[00:36.42] So I wish you all you need,
[00:41.54] to be more than I can be.
[00:45.34] This is what I wish for you.
[00:51.87] I wish you rainy days,
[00:55.87] so you can know the beauty of a clear blue sky
[01:01.29] I wish you falling leaves,
[01:03.67] so you'll understand that seasons change.
[01:06.91] Cause, if I gave you the mountains,
[01:12.78] would you learn to climb,
[01:15.71] I pray you'll always see
[01:20.76] the forest through the trees.
[01:24.94] And this is what I wish for you,
[01:31.22] And this is what I wish for you.
[01:38.89] If I could I'd say the word
[01:43.70] and take your fears away,
[01:45.88] And I'd stay right by your side
[01:51.33] and show the way you should take.
[01:53.82] But this your life, this is your story,
[01:59.81] and we know this, go ahead and say,
[02:04.73] I hope you live with no regrets.
[02:07.72] I wish you ocean breeze,
[02:12.71] and rivers that can bring you everything you dream,
[02:17.52] I wish that the air you breathe,
[02:21.32] is all that you'll ever need.
[02:23.63] And I wish you nights of love,
[02:28.88] and days of joy and shoulders when you cry,
[02:33.71] And just enough helloes,
[02:37.39] to get you through, goodbye,
[02:41.76] And this is what I wish for you.
[02:47.06] I pray one day you'll have a home,
[02:52.68] with arms stood open wide,
[02:54.86] And you'll have someone who loves you,
[03:00.79] always by your side,
[03:02.98] And if you lose your will to try,
[03:08.94] I wish you wings to fly.
[03:13.27] I wish you wings to fly.
[03:17.08] I wish you everything you need.
[03:31.18] And this is what I wish for you,
[03:43.61] And this is what I wish for you.
