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)
