If I had words like a hammer If I had powers unreal Then I would tear down Megiddo And I would bring you songs of love And every child of tomorrow Safely in his bed could lie And hate would die of starvation
Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today
I’ll find an old man lonely In the autumn of his years I’ll find a young girl hoping To lose herself in love And to both I’d give a rainbow For neither side can make it on their own Young and old come together
Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today
I’ll find some magic morning I’ll take a boat out on the sea Maybe run before the west wind To bring you songs of love And every fear for tomorrow In my head could surely lie And you and I, we’d be together
Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today
