about

Wish is an optimistic song which helped me through the tougher times of my health problems by giving me something to work towards when I couldn't play my guitar for more than a minute when I was so fatigued. It was Music Therapy in its extreme form, where writing the song and playing the guitar and trying to sing were ridiculously hard to do but gave me a wonderful sense of achievement eventually when it began to finally get finished. It is about taking chances in life and being open-minded and going for your dreams and meeting your potential by beating whatever holds you back.

lyrics

Wish

Look around, look around, look around,
It’s time to settle down now.
You know just how, the story goes,
The proof is in the reading alone,
Once upon a time,
Doesn’t have to be the opening line,
So I’m weighing up the cons and the pro’s,
And passing on the sentencing,
To boldly go…

Where I wanna be,
Is meeting my potentially,
Slightly better version of me,
Happier essentially…

Double down, double down, double down,
It’s time to take a chance now.
A luck of possibilities,
The tale within my head is a dream,
One of a kind,
Is the kicker that nobody will mind,
A call to raise the blinds unfolds,
And checking on the river sees,
A chance to go…

Where I wanna be,
Is meeting my potentially,
Slightly better version of me,
Happier essentially…
Living for the moment,
In deciding peace of mind,
Setting all the plans in motion,
Turning on the other side.

It tries to run, when you take a risk,
It tries to hit, when you never miss,
It tries to breathe, as long as you live,
It tries to hope, as long as you wish...
As long as you wish…

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes,
It’s time to realize now.
You know exactly what to do,
A spoken secret never comes true,
One starlit night,
Exponential turning out of the lights,
A fair breeze hands the lion a float,
I’m crossing all my fingers so,
That I can go…

Where I wanna be,
Is meeting my potentially,
Slightly better version of me,
Happier essentially…
Living for the moment,
In deciding peace of mind,
Setting all the plans in motion,
Turning on the other side.
