I wish for a place

where the earth doesn't shake

if the earth won't be still

then I will



And my friends can be my family

and they could be my company

and I'll take them to a party

and we'll have fun

they will tell me if I'm near

to anywhere but here



I wish for a place

where it's not such a waste

I can tell the girls' my name

it's okay, although it's plain



can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here?



if I could sleep

then I would dream of what you promised me

then everything would seem better than it is



I wish for a place where I could go

cuz everything here moves so slow



Can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here?



I wish for a place

where the earth doesn't shake

if the earth won't be still

then you and I will

can you tell me if I'm near to anywhere but here?
