I wish you freedom
I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars
That beckon you to sleep
I'd even wish you that heartache
That makes you more a man
I wish I could be there,
But, I can't.
I wish you places
That sit so still
Where people never ever change
And never ever will
I wish I could hold you
And help you understand
That I wish I could be there,
But I can't.
Be good for your mother,
Cause she needs a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you'll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stays the same
But you know my love still remains.
I wish you wisdom
I wish you years
I wish you
