Just Maybe

I hold my wish inside my head,

while my heart fills endlessly with dread.

So many things I could wish for,

and I just keep wanting more and more.

I could wish the dead back,

or that it didn't matter if you're white or black.

I could wish that I had more money,

or that every day ahead would be sunny.

I could wish we could all see

that the key of life is equality.

I could wish we wouldn't be judged on who we love,

or what we think is up above.

I could wish the hate would end,

and that we could all have a friend.

I could wish the end of all disease,

or I could wish for all of these.

But I only have one to share with you,

I wish that maybe, just maybe,

wishes could come true.
