I wish I didn't feel so helpless I wish I didn't act so selfish I wish I didn't wring my hands night and day My hair was a little bit smoother My jeans fit a little bit looser And I always knew the right things to say And I wish I wouldn't hide what's been going on inside And I wish you wouldn't get scared and run away [Chorus] I wish I was doing better With all the things that matter, I guess I got some learning to do I wish everyone had someone To hold em and to love em The way I'm always gonna love you I wish wishes came true I was there was a cure for cancer I wish somebody had an answer And all God's children, never got hurt I wish Eve never bit that apple You men never went to battle And I didn't get so mad at the world I wish I was more like Jesus
And could pick up all the pieces And make a better life for my baby girl [Chorus] I wish I was doing better With all the things that matter, I guess I got some learning to do I wish everyone had someone To hold em and to love em The way I'm always gonna love you I wish wishes came true wishes came true For everything I am wishing I know someone's up there is listening So, I say my prayers when I go to bed Ahh, ahh, ahh Oh pray my wishes come true [Chorus] Oh, I wish I was doing better With all the things that matter, I guess I got some learning to do Oh, I wish everyone had someone To hold em and to love em The way I'm always gonna love you I wish wishes came true I know wishes come true I wish, I wish
