Analysis of I Wish Upon
I wish upon the brightest star
To light the night with wonders of heart
Even in the darkest of hour
A blooming flower shines the colour
For this feeling of hurt inside
Seems to be a never-ending story
Covered by the mist so white
I wonder why it loses its glory
Never again, never will
He says with all his willing
Not that I want you still
Take a step and find your healing
Then I wish upon the sun
To chase away that gloomy shine
Just a warmth of touch by one
Let me find this love again..
