Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish hidden joy in the peril so we never run dry
I wish there'd be smiles on the faces of strangers that never tell a lie
I wish that the hues of our skin wouldn't mean any suffering
I wish that the love I embrace wouldn't mean that I'd die tomorrow
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
[Verse 2]
I wish time ticking on made it easier
I wish singing this song made it better
I wish everyone cared for everyone
I wish there'd be no more night, only sun
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
[Verse 3]
There's work to be done
It's not good enough
We've got to be better 'cause
Wishing on a star won't change it
We've got to be better
We've got to be better
[Verse 4]
There's work to be done
And it's not good enough (We've got to be better)
We've got to be better 'cause
Wishing on a star won't change it (Oh we've got to be better, yeah)
We've got to be better (Oh we've got to be better)
We've got to be better (We've got to be better, no, better, no)
We've got to be better (We've got to be better)
We've got to be better (We've got to be better, wake up and change it)
We've got to be better (Be better, got to be better)
We've got to be better (Oh oh, we've got to be better, wake up and change it)
