Analysis of I Wish:
I wish I was an astronaut,
I want to see the stars collide,
Watch the planets in the sky.
I wish I was a deep sea diver,
I want to me a different world,
Underwater life, twisted and twirled.
I wish I was a teacher,
I want to help the children see the sky,
See the Earth through their eyes.
I wish life was easier.
Doesn't everyone?
