Wishful Thinking

All I want to do

Is wake up every morning and be happy and be care free

And all I want to do

Is love my man and make sure my family is okay

And I want to sing,

The songs that I write in my head

On a stage, in a big place

And I want to 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 want to 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 want to 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

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

I want my soul to fly free

Without a single worry

Fear or anxiety

Could it be possible for all I wish to have

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
