lyrics

I may think I want to make mounds and mounds of money,
To buy this and that, to have everything.
I may think I want to be twenty-one again,
Yes, to be beautiful, young and free.
Truth is, I’m a little bit afraid. Truth is I’m quite a bit lazy.
Truth is, I’d miss you too much so I’d never buy a ticket to go.
I may think I want to fly right up to the moon
To ski along the dunes like a strong, young boy.
I may think I want to go to an octopus garden
Where I can feed my curiosity and joy.
What would make me want to buy a ticket, To have everything I think I want.
If you go there with me and stand in line,
All my wishes will come true. All my wishes will come true. All our wishes will come true.
I may think I want peace and quiet, Nothing but silence for days on end.
But I know that after a while, I’d be lonely and sad
And want to hear your voice again.
Truth is that in the end. Truth is I need you friend.
Truth is that love is all we need to be happy and free.
And all our wishes will come true. Love is all we need to be happy and free.
