Gavin's Song Lyrics

I wish you freedom
I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars
That beckon you to sleepI wish you heartache
That leaves you more of a man
I wish I could be there
But I can'tI wish you places
That sit so still
Where people never ever change
And never ever willI wish I could hold you
And make you understand
I wish I could be there
But I can'tBe good for your mama
'Cause she'll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you'll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stayed the same

But you know my love still remainsI wish you wisdom
I wish you years
I wish you armies
To conquer all your fearsI wish you courage
For all that life demands
I wish I could be there
But I can'tBe good for your mama
'Cause she'll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you'll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remainsI wish we were together
I wish I was home
I wish there were nights
Where I was never aloneI know, I've said it
But I'll say it once again
I wish I could be there
But I can't
