Gavin's Song

I wish you freedom

I wish you peace

I wish you nights of stars that beckon you to sleep

I wish you heartache that leaves you more of a man

I wish I could be there, but I can't



I wish you places that sit so still

Where people never ever change and never ever will

I wish I could hold you and make you understand

I wish I could be there, but I cant



[chorus]

Be 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 remains



I wish you wisdom

I wish you years

I wish you armies to conquer all your fears

I wish you courage for all that life demands

I wish I could be there, but I can't



[chorus]

Be 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 remains



I wish we were together

I wish I was home

I wish there were nights where I was never alone

I know I've said it but I'll say it once again

I wish I could be there, but I can't
