I hung my hat on a wishing tree
I asked for one wish - I could've
had three
but I only asked for what I needed
Could've asked for money, riches
and wealth
But all I really wanted was to find
myself
unaccustomed as I was to seeking

And my heart whispered inside
And the moon rose and the angels
sighed.. and they said...

Here comes your second chance
you'd better believe it
Open up and receive it
Here comes your second chance
Take a deep breath, this is your
second chance

Make peace with your mother and
your father, too
Make peace with the stranger
inside of you
and forgive yourself for the things
you tried and failed to do
Embrace your anger, your lust and
your greed
That’s how we drop the things that
we don’t need
Pick up a musical instrument
or plant a seed

That was my heart whispering
inside
‘welcome’ it said, ‘you’re home and
dry’

[chorus]

Well the years went by
and my wish came true
and I find myself here with you
I had to climb that mountain
there was no way around it
And we all come and go like waves
in the sea
Each with our own responsibility
to try to leave this world more beautiful
than we found it
That’s your heart whispering inside
and you know your heart,
it never lied
