Analysis of The wish I wish
I wish I could write
Like my friends do
Paint a mental portrait
If only that could do
I wish am intelligent
So first class could be my thing
And not a prayer point
That make me burn candle
I wish am rich
So a mansion on the ocean
Won't amaze me
Like the tower at Seoul
I wish am wealthy
So I could live
The life dreamt of
Not the one am in
I wish I had a lot of money
So sound of credit alert
Won't freak me
Like a fella from the remote area
I wish I have
Something doing
So I won't sit here dreaming
Of what am yet to achieve
