Analysis of Just one wish



If God could grant us just one wish we'd go and steal the gun
That took your life away from us new years 71
If only we could have you just for one more year
You may of got the help you need to take away your fear
And chase away those demons that were locked inside your head
even learn to love yourself once again instead
You could of had a child a girl or a little boy
To give your life a purpose and fill it all with joy
Now you'd be much older and wiser in your ways
Playing with great grandkids
Enjoying sunny days
Spending time with family who would feel your loving touch
Caring for your animals
Who love oh so much
But we don't have a genie lamp to make our wish come true
Only so much love inside every day for you
We miss you Pete
