Bob Smith "The Wishing Song"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "The Visit"

Some wish to be always alone 

Some wish to have hearts cast of stone 

And some wish to be forever free

And some wish to be forever learning

Some wish to see only themselves

Some wish to take all they can carry

And some wish to share eternity

And some wish to be forever dodging 

If you're gonna change, you better do it right now

Cut loose child, only you know how 

Keep in rhythm and try to stay in tune 

All right

Some wish to stay right where they are 

Some wish to flee- they’re not going very far

And some wish to be closer to thee

And some wish to hate

[Rather than love] 2x
