lyrics

Three Wishes

It’s not a fairy story
This is no tall tale
It’s not a quest for glory
Cos believe me I would fail
I’m no knight in armour
Crusader in a cape
This is a real life drama
And there’s always just one take

But if I only had three wishes
I’d wish the world was free
And I’d wish for an end to war
And I’d wish you were with me

It’s like I’m in the wrong key
Now that you’re not around
People talking to me
But I dare not make a sound
If only I’d thought more clearly
Before you had to go
So many times I did nearly
Now it’s too late to let you know

That if I only had three wishes
I’d wish the world was free
And I’d wish for an end to war
And I’d wish you were with me

We can hope that one day
We’ll work the whole thing out
And rest like God on Sunday
But I really have my doubts
Maybe we’ll save the planet
Make love not war our guide
No need for genie’s magic
But the odds aren’t on our side

So if I only had three wishes
I’d wish the world was free
And I’d wish for an end to war
And I’d wish you were with me
