Wishing Lyrics

Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing, and care will go

Dreamers tell us dreams come true, it's no mistake
And wishes are the dreams we dream when we're awake

The curtain
Of night will part
If you are certain
Within your heart

So if you wish long enough
Wish long enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so

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 [?]
