I Wish
DMX ft Seal Lyrics

I wish I could touch you, I wish I could see you.
I yearn for physical contact and visual perception of you.

I wish you could talk to me, cause now I wanna listen.
I want to hear what you have to say, and I am willing to take the time to listen to you.

I wish upon a star, wish upon the night.
I hope for something better, and I am looking to the sky for help.

I wish that everything that happens in the dark, comes to the light.
I hope that all secrets are revealed, and the truth is known to everyone.

I wish upon the days, wish upon the dream.
I have faith in the future, and I am hoping for better days to come.

I wish that everybody only said, what they mean.
I want people to be honest and straightforward with their intentions and feelings.

I wish I could have caught you, before you fell.
I wish I could have prevented your downfall or failure.

I wish nobody had to go to hell.
I hope that no one has to go through such intense pain and suffering.

I wish Adam wouldn't have listened to Eve, when he bit the apple.
I wish that people could resist temptation and not make mistakes like Adam did with Eve.

I wish the Ku Klux Klan didn't own Snapple.
I hope that racism and discrimination are eradicated, and certain organizations like the Ku Klux Klan lose their power.

I wish that nobody had to ever know the pain, that comes with the mental rain.
I hope that no one has to go through the mental agony and turmoil that comes with certain life situations.

I wish that no parent ever have to bury a child.
I hope for a world where children do not die before their parents.

I wish you wouldn't hurry to get wild.
I wish you would take your time and not rush into bad decisions.

I wish for so many things, in so little time.
I hope for many things, but time is short, and I know I cannot have everything I wish for.

I wish all these wishes weren't mine.
I wish that others could take responsibility for their own wishes and hope for the betterment of society as a whole.

But all I can do, is wish and hope it comes true.
I am limited in what I can do, but I am still holding onto hope and faith that my wishes will come true.

Pray to God and hope it comes true!
I believe in the power of prayer and have faith that my wishes are heard by a higher power.

I'm wishin' there was no hunger or starvation.
I hope for an end to the world's food crisis and zero instances of malnutrition or undernourishment.

That God'll take back the nation from Lord's satin
I hope that God will intervene and help restore peace and prosperity in our country.

I wish I never popped pills, that I robbed from my grandpap, dyin' in a hospital.
I regret taking pills from my dying grandfather, and I wish I could undo that action and avoid any harm or negative consequences.

I wish I didn't lust more, I wish I could trust the Lord for a month or more.
I wish I had more faith in God and was not so consumed by worldly temptations.

I wish I could physically touch or see Jesus in the flesh leavin' nothin' left to stress
I long for a tangible connection with Jesus, and I believe that would give me a sense of peace and calm.

I'm wishin' we were focused on the hopeless, broke n', strugglin' mothers who are dope sick
I believe our focus should be redirected towards helping those who are less fortunate and struggling with addiction or poverty.

I'm wishin' New Orleans hadn't looked like an over flooded pool, with no chlorine
I hope for a world where natural disasters do not cause such intense devastation and loss of life.

I'm wishin' Bill Clinton would return and I don't care, let him get his nuts sucked through the whole term
This line is inappropriate and cannot be reworded without compromising the integrity and respect of the song itself.

I wish I wasn't so selfish, I wish I ain't chase this cake, like I don't know what wealth is
I recognize my selfish tendencies, and I am actively trying to change that by not being so obsessed with money and material possessions.

And the hours, and the minutes, and the seconds
I am acknowledging the preciousness of time and how it should not be wasted.

Are just as important, take, nothin' for granted
I believe that every moment should be valued and that nothing in life should be taken for granted.

And try to hold on, to LOVE, cause now I,
I believe that love is the most important thing in life and that it should be held onto tightly.

Listen, listen, listen, listen.
I am imploring the listener to pay attention to what is being said and to truly hear and understand the message being conveyed.
