Lyrics

Long Time Coming

I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish for hover boards and flying cars
I wish for a map to utopia
I wish for destinations and galaxies of stars
I wish for a peaceful end to phobia
I wish for agree to disagree
I wish for an end to hunger and pain
I wish for steadier feet
I wish for a less tragic history to claim

It’s been a long time
Since I wished for something bigger
A long time coming back to center
And there are long days hoping that it gets better
And there are long roads to pave together

I wish for obvious answers to trumped up questions
I wish for a billion miles of censor
I wish for inclusive suggestions
I wish we’d stop keeping score
I wish for a decrease in struggle
I wish every child had a home
I wish that one song could fix trouble
I wish no one ever had to be alone

It’s been a long time
Since I wished for something bigger
A long time coming back to center
And there are long days hoping that it gets better
And there are long roads to pave together
