The Wish

My wish is small and white and bright
Shines like a thousand stars at night
It's lovelier than any other sight
But I hold it so dear, I won't let you see it

Hold out your hand to me
Tell me you want to see it
But say that you won't steal it away
And maybe I'll say yes
But only if you promise

I don't like to wear my heart on my sleeve
But I can't help emotion
It's part of me
Can't you see
The wish that I hold
Will you help me follow my heart?
Will you help me follow my heart?

You can look but don't touch
'Cos sometimes it's too much
When you fuss and you meddle
With the bike that I peddle.

But please don't stay away
Don't be scared
Of the things that I say

It's all just expression
There's no meaning really
But there is just one thing
I do want to say

Once I wished upon a star
Wishes come true
I know they do.

I don't like to wear my heart on my sleeve
But I can't help emotion
It's part of me
Can't you see
The wish that I hold
Will you help me follow my heart?
Will you help me follow my heart?
