Wish Lyrics

Put every hope down
In any wishing well baby
That is only dreaming
Only you really have the power to tell
This could be the real thing

And you got to believe
And you might start to feel
And you can't deny that
It’s got something to do
With the way that you feel
And I think you know that

Spend yourself on fantasy
When you know you got the key turning
Only you can bring this wish alive
Spend yourself on fantasy
You know you don't have to be yearning
Only you can bring this wish alive, oh...

Only you can bring this wish alive
Only you

Some rely on their own imagination
That keeps their world turning
I knew that I had to have a true sensation
To keep my fire burning
'Cause I spеnd too much time in wonderland
I will want forevеr
So, I’m taking my life in my own hands
To put this thing together now

Spend yourself on fantasy
(Fantasy)
When you know you got the key turning
Only you can bring this wish alive
(Only you, baby)
Spend yourself on fantasy
(Fantasy)
You know you don't have to be yearning
(Be yearning, yearning)
Only you can bring this wish alive, oh...

Spend yourself on fantasy
When you know you got the key turning
(Turning, turning)
Only you can bring this wish alive
Spend yourself on fantasy
(Fantasy
You know you don't have to be yearning
Only you can bring this wish alive, oh...

Dreams, wishes, ha, ha, ha
This is a reality, believe, ah, yeah
From all around, I said, I could see
The many wishes well surrounding me
Deciding which ones to bring to life
Depends upon on what's wrong, and what's right
Look around you, boy
Look around you, boy
Tell them what you see
Look around you, girl
Look around you, girl
Do you want it to bring

Spend yourself on fantasy
When you know you got the key turning
(Turning, turning)
Only you can bring this wish alive
Spend yourself on fantasy
(Fantasy)
You know you don't have to be yearning
Only you can bring this wish alive, oh...
