Wishes To Be

Sitting at the edge of the lake,
I watch reflections in front of me
Swirling with the wishes I make

So many, but the most to be free
As if I’m flying up in the sky
I watch reflections in front of me

I want peace instead of wonders why
I want love to spread with every breeze
As if I’m flying up in the sky

Dropping angel’s feathers on the trees
I want wishes to grow, standing tall
I want love to spread with every breeze

So truth will shine, relieving us all
As reflections become part of me
I want wishes to grow, standing tall

Conclusions to wishes I can see
Sitting at the edge of a lake
As reflections become part of me
Swirling with the wishes I make
