Make A Wish
Laura Bryna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She wakes up to Sponge Bob and Captain Crunch
And the love of her family fills the room
She plays with her new friends 'til it's time for lunch
But she remembers why she's there each afternoon

The doctor talked about a blood test
She's not sure what that means
And today she met some volunteers
Who asked about her dreams

Would you like to meet with Dolly
Hang out with Micky Mouse?
Maybe ride a roller coaster
Get turned upside down?

Think of one thing in this whole wide world
You wouldn't wanna miss
Take your time, close your eyes
And make a wish

She let out a big shout and gave them a hug
Said would you mind if my Care Bear tag along?
'Cause he's been my best friend and he brings me luck
And to go somewhere without him would be wrong

They handed her a pencil
Said it's okay to make a list
If you can't spell it, you can draw it
It doesn't matter what it is

Would you like to make a movie
Take your picture with a star?
Have a party in a playhouse
In your very own backyard?

Think of one thing in this whole wide world
You wouldn't wanna miss
Take your time, close your eyes
And make a wish

She thought it over for a moment
Said I know what I'd like to do
My only wish is to make
My friends wishes all come true

Would you like to meet with Dolly
Hang out with Mickey Mouse?
Maybe ride a roller coaster
And get turned upside down?

Think of one thing in this whole wide world
You wouldn't wanna miss




Take your time, close your eyes
And make a wish

Overall Meaning
