I Wish

I wish I was footloose and fancy free - but I'm not.

I wish I was happy with my lot - but I'm not.

I wish...

I wish I could start from scratch - but I can't.

I wish I could stop the hands of time - but I can't.

I wish...

I wish I had the courage of my convictions - but I don't.

I wish I could speak up for myself - but I don't.

I wish...

I wish I could live for today - but I won't.

I wish I could follow my heart - but I won't.

I wish...

I wish I would stop wishing my life away.
