If Wishes Were Horses Lyrics

So I will try, I will try

I will bring my dream to life

A little dirt don't hurt

And a little won't suffice

Dirty hands, tattered pants

And a suntan you won't like

Poetic words will never work

If it's on wishes they ride, so I will

I've wished on every star in the night sky

I've wished on every dandelion I've found

And I've prayed a prayer each sunset to sunrise

And I've run out of numbers to count

But shooting stars only go so far

And I'm getting tired of it

And dandelions take little time

To be swept down by the wind

Oh, but I wonder what would happen

If all my hurdles turned to ashes

And I never had to try

But if wishes were horses

Then beggars would ride

I won't sit as my life passes by

And if wishes were airplanes

Then beggars would fly

Idle hands yield an idle life

So I will try, I will try

I will bring my dream to life

A little dirt don't hurt

And a little won't suffice

Dirty hands, tattered pants

And a suntan you won't like

Poetic words will never work

If it's on wishes they ride, so I will

Try

I will, I will try

So I will try

I will try

So I'll wave to the stars as they pass by

And through fields of clovers I'll run

I won't let fairy tales take from my time

Until my time's over and done

So I'm ready to ride, I'm ready to fly

I'm ready to fight, I'm ready to try

'Cause there won't be no second chances

So I'm ready to run, in the heat of the sun

In the haze of the rain, just to find what I want

I'm tired of this in-place dancing

But if wishes were horses

Then beggars would ride

I won't sit as my life passes by

And if wishes were airplanes

Then beggars would fly

Idle hands yield an idle life

So I will try, I will try

I will bring my dream to life

A little dirt don't hurt

And a little won't suffice

Dirty hands, tattered pants

And a suntan you won't like

Poetic words will never work

If it's on wishes they ride, so I will

Try

Oh, I will try, I will try

I will try, I will try

I will try

Oh, if wishes were horses

Then beggars would ride

I won't let my life pass me by

Oh, if wishes were horses

Then beggars would ride

I won't let my life pass me by

So I will try, I will try

I will bring my dream to life

A little dirt don't hurt

And a little won't suffice

Dirty hands, tattered pants

And a suntan you won't like

Poetic words will never work

If it's on wishes they ride, so I will

Try

I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

Yeah, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

Oh, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

I will try, I will try

I will try
