Wishful Thinking

All I wanna do

Is wake up every morning

And be happy and be carefree

And all I wanna do

Is love my man

And make sure my family is okay

And I wanna sing

The songs that I write in my head

On a stage in a big place

And I wanna laugh

Until tears fall down my face

And my abs are aching

Is that too much to ask for

In my life to have

Nothing but the sweetest days

Too much for one

To have

Or is it wishful thinking

Oh, I wanna send

My little brother Solomon to college

With no problem

And how I hope

The children that I sponsor down in Chile

They get the money I send

And I wanna fly

To Paris once a year for a vacation

With my husband

And I hope the nation stop fighting

And find sweet peace

Somewhere down deep

I want my soul to fly free

Without a single worry

Fear or anxiety

Could it be possible

For all I wish to have
