One Wish

(album: Karyn White - 1988)

It's a special world that we're living in
But we treat it like what changes underneath the skin
When a baby cries then I don't feel it too
Cause he's a part of me just like I'm a part of you

How much longer must we stand alone together
Cause to live this way's a crime
And we're running out of time

If I had one wish we'd live as one together
All over the world
If I had one wish there would be peace forever
All over the world
Just one wish

There's a special place deep inside our hearts
There's an ancient flame burning brightly in the dark
And if we listen to the higher love inside
And heed the higher voice inside and not the voice of crime
No more will we fight with one another
There'll be rejoicing in the streets and the winds of old will seize

If I had one wish we'd live as one together
All over the world
If I had one wish there would be peace forever
All over the world
Just one wish

People, I know there's a better day coming
And wishes can come true
But it's up to me and you

One wish, we join hands together
All over the world
If I had one wish there would be peace forever
All over the world
I'm talking bout the children
We've got to come together

One wish, we live as one together
All over the world
If I had one wish there would be peace forever
All over the world
Just one wish

All over the world
If I had one wish there would be peace forever
All over the world
People, I know there's a better day coming
Just one wish
We live as one together
