about
Hopeful acoustic indie rock. Remixed September 2016
lyrics
Here's a thought: What if we all tried to get along?
That old cliche: "love your neighbour" really isn't so wrong
Do you think that we could make it right?
Without the wars maybe we'd sleep at night
With just my wishful thinking
To see me through
Head in the clouds and my feet off the ground
It's just that wishful thinking
Never comes true
Wonder if I need to find a new way to get around
I had a thought, can't we keep all the pain at bay?
What if that old cliche: "turn the other cheek" meant put your weapons away
Maybe then we could make it right
Without the guns we could all sleep at night
But wishful thinking
Might see me through
My heads in the clouds and my feet off the ground
You know that wishful thinking
Never comes true
Now's the time to find a new way to get a-round
Here's a thought: What if we all wished so very hard?
It's an old cliche, but happy-ever-afters may be not so absurd
Finally, we could make it right
Without the fear we could sleep at night
And our wishful thinking
Might see us through
Head still in the clouds but our feet on the ground
You know that wishful thinking
Can come true
If I'm not alone and you are wishing too
That old cliche: "love your neighbour" really isn't so wrong
Do you think that we could make it right?
Without the wars maybe we'd sleep at night
With just my wishful thinking
To see me through
Head in the clouds and my feet off the ground
It's just that wishful thinking
Never comes true
Wonder if I need to find a new way to get around
I had a thought, can't we keep all the pain at bay?
What if that old cliche: "turn the other cheek" meant put your weapons away
Maybe then we could make it right
Without the guns we could all sleep at night
But wishful thinking
Might see me through
My heads in the clouds and my feet off the ground
You know that wishful thinking
Never comes true
Now's the time to find a new way to get a-round
Here's a thought: What if we all wished so very hard?
It's an old cliche, but happy-ever-afters may be not so absurd
Finally, we could make it right
Without the fear we could sleep at night
And our wishful thinking
Might see us through
Head still in the clouds but our feet on the ground
You know that wishful thinking
Can come true
If I'm not alone and you are wishing too
