Lyrics
DON?T WISH IT AWAY
VERSE 1
Why do kids long to be big in a big big world
And hang from the monkey bars to try to grow
Or sit along the road, just longing to drive
and waste their days watching cars go by
Don?t fast forward to the climax of the film
It may not always end the way you like
CHORUS
Don?t wish it away
Don?t wish it away
Or it?ll soon be gone
VERSE 2
Even if you live on the dark side of the moon
Eventually you?ll spin to the light
No life should be so dark as the inside of a gun
Every shadow runs from the sun
Look a little deeper and you will be surprised
The seed beneath the surface starts to rise
CHORUS
Don?t wish it away
Don?t wish it away
Or it?ll soon be gone
BRIDGE
Sink your feet firmly in the moment
Run your fingers through the years
Savor the taste a little longer
Wrap your heart around what?s here
CHORUS
Don?t wish it away
Don?t wish it away
Or it?ll soon be gone
Don?t wish, don?t wish, don?t wish, don?t wish it away
Don?t you wish it all away
Don?t wish, don?t wish, don?t wish, don?t wish it all away
Keep it around for another day
Don?t wish, don?t wish it away
Don?t you wish it all away
Don?t wish, don?t wish, don?t wish, don?t wish it all away
