Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part
[PreChorus]
But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love
[Chorus]
Now I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
[Instrumental]
Wish I was a bird
I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring
[PreChorus]
But I'm not a bird
And wishes can
Just fly away, my love
[Chorus]
And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
[Instrumental]
Oh, I'm no fool shining in your eyes
Of the above stars, my love
[Chorus]
No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may
[PostChorus]
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may
[Outro]
Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
Wish I was a child
