I wish for arms to hold me tight
To chase away the dark of night
To feel the warmth of loving care
And know that I am not alone there

I wish for eyes to see my soul
To understand the depths of my control
To recognize the tears I've cried
And wipe away the heartache I've denied

I wish for lips to speak my name
To whisper words of love and flame
To ignite the fire that once burned bright
And guide me through life's darkest night

I wish for hands to heal my heart
To mend the cracks and never depart
To hold me close and never let go
And love me for who I am, and not just show

I wish for love that's true and kind
To be the safe haven I've left behind
To find solace in a gentle embrace
And know that I am loved, in this place.
