have you ever wished upon a star
and all your hopes seemed so far
well here’s a wish that will come true
and all these wishes are just for you
i wish i knew how it
feel to be free yessiree
i wish i could break all
of these chains oh yes
that are really holding me
wish i could say all the things
i should say every day
and say em loud say em clear
for the whole wide world to hear
i wish i could share all the love
that i have in my heart today
and then move all the bars that
keep the people in the world astring
i wish i could give all the joy
everybody could see
then they’d know then they’d know
every man in this world should be free
listen i wish i could give all the love
that i have in my heart right now today
i wish that i could help someone who
was sad and is somewhere going astray
and most of all i wish i had the
answer and the secret to peace
i’d give this to every leader of the world
and then i wish i had the secret of love
for i’d share this with every man
every woman every boy and every girl
oh i wish i could fly
like a bird up in the sky
and then wake up one morning
to find out for myself oh
you don’t even have to die
listen i’d fly if i could fly you see
to the sun and then down
to the deep blue sea
then i’d sing yes
i’d sing about freedom
i want everybody to
come sing along with me
let me hear you just sing it one time
let me hear you say
i’d sing yes i’d sing come on
sing children sing about love now
sing sing sing about peace
sing sing sing about the joy
sing sing sing ohh
