When I Wish
When I wish upon a star
I dream of something far
Up above, beyond my dreams
More extreme that it seems
I wish for small things
Not fancy rings
or candied things
I wish for peace
And prosperity
I wish for silence for those who don't have a voice to speak up
I wish on a little star for so many things
But none of them are like fancy rings
I wish for bullying to stop
I wish for my dream to reach the top
I wish for discrimination to end
I wish I could give a dream to lend
To those who can't dream
Or wish on a star
But I also wish they could wish on the very same star
I wish on every night
The one to the left of the moon
The one that shines oh-so bright
