I wish I was so smart, said the fool to the wise man.
I'd read the ancient books, and count the apples in a pie.
I wish I was so smart, said the fool to the wiseman.
sometimes I wish I wasn't, the wiseman replied.
I wish that I could see, said the blind man to the wise man.
I'd see a thousand sunsets, through new and different eyes.
I wish that I could see, said the blind man to the wise man.
I wish I didn't have to, said the wise man, looking wise.
I wish that I could hear, signed the deaf man to the wise man,
I'd listen to the rainfall and hear a baby cry.
I wish that I could hear, signed the deaf man to the wise man.
Sometimes I wish I couldn't, said the wise man with a sigh.
I wish that I could fly, said the young boy to the wise man.
I'd dip my toes in rainbows and sail across the sky.
I wish that I could fly, said the young boy to the wise man.
The wise man sat and smiled and said... so do I.
