Marc Broussard - Gavin's Song lyrics

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

I wish you places

That sit so still

Where people never ever change

and Never ever will

I wish I could hold you

And make you understand

I wish I could be there

But I can't

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 there are reasons

And times when nothing stayed the same

But you know my love still remains

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

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 there are reasons

And times when nothing stayed the same

But you know my love still remains

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
