| Little girl |
| Living in a war torn world |
| She keeps tearing out her eyelashes |
| She keeps tearing out her eyelashes |
| And blowing them in the wind |
| She can’t wait for the wish to come |
| She can’t wait for the wish to come |
| Little boy |
| Saving up his hard earned pay |
| He throws it in a well one day |
| He throws it in a well one day |
| Like a river on the run |
| He can’t wait for the wish to come |
| He can’t wait for the wish to come |
| Child |
| Finds them all |
| We can try |
| We can try |
| But we be can’t control (We can’t control, we can’t control) |
| Where the wind blows |
| Mean old man |
| Living in the promised land |
| He’s telling her to feel alone |
| He’s telling her to feel alone |
| Like she’s the only one |
| He can’t wait for the war to come |
| He can’t wait for the war to come |
| Child |
| Finds them all |
| We can try |
| We can try |
| But we can’t control (We can’t control, we can’t control) |
| Where the wind blows |
| Ohh-ohh-ohh |
| Little girl |
| Growing up day by day |
| She learns to change her childish ways |
| She learns to change her childish ways |
| With the beating of her drum |
| She can’t wait for the wish to come |
| She can’t wait for the wish to come |
