What do you wish for?

Please come here and tell me
When you wish on shining stars
What is it you wish for
With your wishing heart

Or do you prefer magic genies
Who live in magic lamps
Who will grant you THREE wishes
Except for more to spend

Or is it on your birthday cake
You close your eyes and blow
That you wish for wishing things
Once a year again

Or have you lost all hope
Like so many have
And you no longer wish for wishing things
Because you are so sad

But you know hope isn't lost
You can feel it in your heart
Wishing for things comes so naturally
You've ripped your heart apart

But you can still mend it
It isn't too late you see
Come and ask me about the time
When wishing didn't come as naturally

But then I was saved
And now it is plain to see
When I was no longer wishing
I still was wishing for him to come for me
