If I had words like a hammer
If I had powers unreal
Then I would tear down Megiddo
And I would bring you songs of love
And every child of tomorrow
Safely in his bed could lie
And hate would die of starvation
Wish it was (I wish it was)
Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)
Wish it was today
I’ll find an old man lonely
In the autumn of his years
I’ll find a young girl hoping
To lose herself in love
And to both I’d give a rainbow
For neither side can make it on their own
Young and old come together
Wish it was (I wish it was)
Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)
Wish it was today
I’ll find some magic morning
I’ll take a boat out on the sea
Maybe run before the west wind
To bring you songs of love
And every fear for tomorrow
In my head could surely lie
And you and I, we’d be together
Wish it was (I wish it was)
Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)
Wish it was today
