Gavin’s Song

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I wish you places
That sit so still
Where people never ever change
Never ever will
I wish I could hold you
And make you understand
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 thеre are reasons
Timеs when nothing feels the same
But you know my love still remains

[Verse 3]
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
And boy, she loves you
More than you'll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
Times when nothing feels the same
But you know my love still remains

[Verse 4]
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
