What I Wish Now I Wished A Long Time Ago

Do you look at the world and wish for better things? I hope so because the world is hurting in a big (and eternal) way. But guess what? It’s nothing new. This world has been a place of hurting for 6000 years. All you have to do is read history books, and you’ll discover that’s true. As I look around me, I find that what I wish for is the same thing I wished for almost 28 years ago when I wrote lyrics to a song called “What I Wish”. I never actually composed the song, and I don’t believe I will. But I wanted to share the words with you to see if you can relate. What I Wish There are people of the past And people of today. They’re standing in lines and passing away. Let’s not talk about that. Let’s go find us some fun… Burn our candles at both ends… Let our wild sides run. We don’t wanna hear it. We don’t wanna know why ‘Cause maybe we’ll feel near it, And we’ll break down and cry. Oh, I wish…our world was better. I wish…our world was fair. I wish we’d get together And end the grief out there. I wish…our world was perfect. I wish…our world was sane. I wish…there was no hatred And more than earthly gain. That’s what I wish. There are innocent children Who are losing their dreams. All their dreams have exploded, Blown apart at the seams. They can’t trust in their mothers Or their fathers for help. No, their parents can’t help them ‘Cause they won’t help themselves. We don’t wanna hear it. We don’t wanna know where… Just as long as it’s not us Who are we to care? Oh, I wish…our world was better. I wish…our world was fair. I wish we’d get together And end the grief out there. I wish…our world was perfect. I wish…our world was sane. I wish…there was no hatred And more than earthly gain. That’s what I wish. Stay tuned, The post What I Wish Now I Wished A Long Time Ago appeared first on Tony Funderburk.
