The song is on the Volume 5 album

As I Wish

When things are bad, some people pretend they are not. The World’s falling apart around them but, hey… I’m happy. Ostrich head in the Sand syndrome. This song is for those folks. Do you think they will know that? The song opens in a restaurant where we had what turned out to be our last restaurant dinner before this pandemic stopped such stuff.

As I Wish

C G
Some say that people are mean
G C
And willing to hurt anyone
Am F
Some say the birds and bees are dying
Dm G C
And the trees are all burning, one by one 

Some people point to the rising water
And some say the food is bad
I heard that the poor are dying
And, I heard some of our children are really mad

F        Dm    
La de dah, La de dah, ooh la de dah
G       C
Ooooh, it’s such a beautiful day
F        A#     
La de dah, La de dah, la de dah ohh
G       C
Everything is just as I wish

Well, I like sailboats and cookies and dogs
And I like to sing my favorite song
And I like to walk on sunny trails with you
So, I have decided that nothing is wrong 

Oooh La de dah, La de dah, ooh la de dah
Ooooh, it is a such beautiful day
La de dah, Ooh La de dah, la de dah ooh
Everything is exactly as I wish
