Lyrics

Wishing on a star
For the end of war
It's the same old thing as it was before
Set the world on fire
And blame the poor
Wishing on a star
For the end of war

All around the world
People choosing sides
Family and friends
Divided by their pride
The sound of children's laughter
Is silenced by their pain
All the things that matter
Will never be the same

Wishing on a star
For the end of war
It's the same old thing
As it was before
Set the world on fire
Blame it all on the poor
Send them off to die
And they still want more
I'm wishing on a star
For the end of war
For the end of war

Streets full of life
Turned to ashen gray
Old familiar places
Left in yesterday
Children forced to grow
Orphaned and alone
They don't know why
They can't go home

Wishing on a star
For the end of war
It's the same old thing
As it was before
Set the world on fire
Blame it all on the poor
Send them off to die
And they still want more
I'm wishing on a star
For the end of war
For the end of war
I'm wishing

Wishing on a star
For the end of war
It's the same old thing
As it was before
Set the world on fire
And blame the poor
We can't take it anymore
I'm wishing on a star
For the end of war
For the end of war
For the end of war
For the end of war
I'm wishing
I'm wishing
