All I wanna do is wake up every morning and be happy, i mean carefree
And all I wanna do, is love my man and be sure that my family, is okay.
And I wanna sing the songs that i write in my head
On a stage, in a big place

And I wanna laugh, until tears fall down my face
And my abs are aching

Is that too much to ask, in life, to have?
Nothing but the sweetest days
Too much for one to have?
Or is it wishful thinking?

Oh I wanna send
My little brother Solomon to college, with no problem
And how i hope
The children that i sponsor down in Chile
They get the money that i send
And i wanna fly, To Paris once a year for a vacation,
With my husband
And how i hope, the nations will stop fighting and find sweet peace,
Somewhere down deep.

Is it too much to ask, in life, to have?
Nothing but the sweetest days
Too much, for one, to have?
Or is it wishful thinking?

I want my soul to fly free
Without a single worry
Fear of anxiety
Could it be possible for all i wish to have?

Is that too much to ask, in life, to have?
Nothing but the sweetest days
Is that too much, for one, to have?

I wish, I wish, I wish...
