Three Wishes


To you, I grant three wishes...FAITH, HOPE, LOVE,
     to help unlock the joys you're worthy of.
          So here's the deepest key of FAITH for you...
just turn, set free belief that sees you through.

Do not let painful yesterdays block out
     today's new tasks of life which you're about.
          So here's the brilliant key of HOPE for you...
just turn, set free your sun to shine anew. 

You know, as brothers, sisters, we are one 
     big, human family beneath our sun.
          So here's the heartfelt key of LOVE for you...
just turn, set free warm feelings, deep and true.
