Wishes Lyrics by Jon Butcher

Wishes

0

It's late at night in the neighborhood
And the thieves have all gone to bed
They can hear your heartbeat in the distance
As you lay down your weary head
But don't worry, 'cause the dawn is breakin'
In another room halfway around the world
And you can't waste your life
Wishin' upon a star
'Cause if wishes were horses
If wishes were horses
If wishes were horses
Then dreamers would ride
Huh, yes, they would
A girl lives her life missing
Some things that she never had
Spends too much time in the unemployment line
You see in her eyes that it drives her mad
Deep within her constitution
Her pride and her dignity show through
So she works that dream
'Cause it's all she can do
If wishes were horses
If wishes were horses
She says: If wishes were horses
Then dreamers would ride
Yes, they would
Now I'm lookin' all around me for the answers
And I know you're lookin' hard too
I know what you're thinkin'
Maybe wishes come true
If wishes were horses
If wishes were horses
I know if wishes were horses
Then dreamers would ride
