Wish I Was a Child

in this grief-stricken, tear-stained world...we all have our own childish dreams and wishes... Wish I was a child And never have to leave my fantasy land Of dolls and beautiful dresses Of fairies and their magic wands... Wish I was a child And live in a world of happy endings Where princesses met their rightful prince And angels in full rapture sing... Wish I was a child And never have to live in this cruel world Full of hatred and deception and lies Where reality stings like a sword... Wish I were forever a child And never have to cry and grieve Never have to grow and leave This wonderful world of make-believe!
