I wish you freedom
I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars that beacon you to sleep
I wish you heart ache that leaves you more of 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
Never ever will
I wish I could hold you
I wish I could be there
Be good for your momma
And boy she loves you more than you'll ever know
Never rhyme and never reasons and times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remains
I wish you wisdom
I wish you years
I wish you armies... to conquer all your fears
I wish you courage for all that life demands
I wish I could be there... but I can't
Be good for your momma
Boy she loves you more than you'll ever know
Never rhyme and never reasons and times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remains
I wish we were together
I wish I was home
I wish there were nights were I was never alone
I know I've said it but I'll say it once again
I wish I could be there
But I can't
