Wish This Away

1
If I walked even one mile in your shoes,
And I saw all the things that were making you blue,
I'd wish this away with a wave of my wand,
But I can't my love, so you've got to be strong.

Chorus,
Strong like the wind and the rain and the stars,
Strong like the rock that is weathered by waves,
Strong like the tree that bends in the storm,
Oh strong be strong in the hug of my arms.

2
There are things in this world that you can't understand
The cruelty of people to your fellow man,
I'd wish this away with a wave of my wand,
But I can't my love so please you be strong

Chorus
Strong like the wind and the rain and the stars,
Strong like the rock that is weathered by waves,
Strong like the tree that bends in the storm,
Oh strong be strong in the hug of my arms.

3
I can see by the sadness that crosses your face,
You've run really hard but you're losing the race,
I'd wish this away with a wave of my wand,
But I couldn't my love so now you are gone.

Chorus
Gone with the wind and the rain and the stars,
Gone with the rocks that are weathered by waves
Gone with the trees that bend in the storms
Oh gone you're gone from the hug of my arms.
