I wish you freedom, I wish peace, I wish you nights of stars
that beckon you to sleep. I wish you heatache that makes
you more of a man, I wish I could be there, but I can't.
I wish you places, that sit so still, where people never ever
change and never ever will. I wish I could hold you and
make you understand, I wish I could be there but I can't.
Be good for your momma, cuz she'll need a hand to hold,
and boy she loves you, more than you'll ever know.
There are rhymes and there are reasons, and times when
nothing stayed the same, but you know my love still remains.
I wish you wisdom, I wish you years, I wish you armies
to conquer all your fears. I wish you courage for all that
life demands, I wish I could be there, but I can't.
Be good for your momma, cuz she'll need a hand to hold,
and boy she loves you, more than you'll ever know.
There are rhymes and there are reasons, and times when
nothing stayed the same, but you know my love still remains.
I wish we were together, I wish I was home, I wish there
was nights when I was never alone. I know I've said it, but
I'll say it once again, I wish I could be there, but I can't...
