Lyrics
WISHING
Shadows from the moon on a silver curtain
You fell asleep so soon and I just sit uncertain
Am I a part of you in your secret landscape
I Wonder how dreams come true
And why the world is in such bad shape
They cry from fear in the night
They wake wih tears in the eyes
I see every girl in your mind and in my heart
Hoping for a gentle start I'm wishing
FOR EVERY LITTLE BOY
FOR EVERY LITTLE GIRL IN THE WORLD
WISH FOR WOMEN AND MEN
I'M WISHING
THAT EVERYONE WILL WAKE UP WITH A BETTER DREAM
SOLO
We have a home
We have love, no hunger
Fire when we feel alone
and family and friends to lean on
Did nobody say goodnight to Hitler
Was Jack the Ripper someone's unwanted child
What about the wars of religions and races
Why are their nightmares so real I can't sleep
I'm wishing
FOR EVERY LITTLE BOY FOR EVERY LITTLE GIRL IN THE WORLD
WISH FOR WOMEN AND MEN
I'M WISHING
THAT EVERYONE WILL WAKE UP WITH A BETTER DREAM
