WISHFUL THINKING
     

[Spiritual feel].

Lying on her back the child looks up at the sky
Rabbits form out of the blue
Dragons riding by
Fairy towers made of wisps in a world of white
Sailing ships and UFOs
All is glowing light

Growing
Shrinking
Wishful thinking

Close your eyes it's all still there, like a secret box
No need for codes
No need for locks
Animals can take her there, so can storybooks
Watch out for the adult world
Big golden hooks

Breathing
Blinking
Wishful thinking

All kinds of thinking in this world
Crooked, straight, and crazy curled
Little boys and little girls
Got to find their way
Blowing bubbles, toys and love
Moon and stars swing round above
Then it comes to push and shove
Dreams get left behind

Can she find another with the same unguarded eyes
Open to the shocks
Deaf to the lies
Wishing hard can make things real, no matter what they say
Some kinds of dreams
Never go away

Loving
Linking
Wishful thinking
