This Wish Lyrics

[ASHA]
Isn't truth supposed to set you free?
Well, why do I feel so weighed down by it?
If I could show them everything I've seen
Open their eyes to all the lies, then
Would they change their minds like I did?
But when I speak, they tell me, "Sit down"
But how can I when I've already started runnin'?
Oh, this is where we've been, but it's not where we belong
And I may be young, but I know I'm not wrong


So I look up at the stars to guide me
And throw caution to every warning sign
If knowing what it could be is what drives me
Then let me be the first to stand in line

So I make this wish
To have something more for us than this
So I make this wish
To have something more for us than this


Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-hah
More than this, oh woah, oh woah, oh woah

I never knew I needed room to grow
Yeah, I did what I was told when someone told me "no"
Now I've got all of this freedom in my bones
But I've still got the lid on, so it doesn't overflow
'Cause I've got reservations and hesitations on where I should even begin
I'm past dippin' my toes in, but I'm not, no, I'm not past divin' in
If I could just be pointed in any given direction on where to go and what to do
My legs are shakin', but my head's held high the way you always taught me to
So I look up at the stars to guide me
And throw caution to every warning sign
I'm sure there will be challenges that find me
But I can take them on one at a time

So I make this wish
To have something more for us than this
So I make this wish
To have something more for us than this


[ASHA & CHOIR]
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (So I make this wish)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-hah (To have something more)

[ASHA]
More than this, oh woah, oh woah, oh woah

So I make this wish
To have something more for us than this

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
