lyrics

With a wish tied to each wrist
The grown up child in me exists
When bearded man and boy permit
I wish I was a wish I was a wish I was away

Atop a hill I climbed to play
I looked around and got afraid
My stomach dropped yet still I stayed
A wish I was a wish I was away

I felt the tracks and from the trees
A magpie had a word with me
He told me that I once was he
A wish I was away

Magpie gestured with a nod
It became clear that it was God
Had I met God atop a hill
A wish I was away

God said keep it simple friend
Your limitless there is no end
I love you unconditionally
A wish I am a way

So I climbed down with mucky knees
No lightning rod of effigies
Only a magpie on a breeze
A wish I was away

I kept on walking
Long story short
Intent on mapping my own course
That message came straight from the source
A wish I am a wish I am a wish I am a wish I am a way
