This Wish | Wish

Original composition by Ariana DeBose: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-ah More than this, oh-ah-ah-ah 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 dipping my toes in But I’m not, no, I’m not past diving in If I could just be pointed in any given direction On where to go and what to do My legs are shaking 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 Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (So I make this wish) Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah (To have something more) More than this, oh-ah-ah-ah (So I make this wish) To have something more for us than this --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Messengers • #ThisWish #Wish #VMusic
