Analysis of A Wish



No pain
No sadness
Is it possible for this to happen?

To go through life as happy as can be
Turn off all emotions
And live life care free
Can't this happen to me?

It's a wish I pray for
To love unconditionally
And not be hurt.

To risk everything
To fall face suspended by an imaginary brace
No pain following
It's a wish I pray for

To go through life as happy as can be
Turn off all emotions
And live life care free
Can't this happen to me?
