Bright Idea

I’d like a bright idea
I’d like a light at the end of the tunnel
I’d like a day that’s clear
Or at least a night so bright it chases down my fears
And blows them all away
Sneezes at yesterday
Flexes her muscles at the future
And always gets her way
Oh I’d like a soul that sings
And a heart so light it carries all the heavy things
I’d like a bell that rings
Every time I start to sprout a pair of angel wings
And float into the sky
Give into great delight
Eat all my troubles like lemon drops
And take the rainbow slide
I’d like a life that lives
And a pair of reaching hands that always want to give
I’d like a conscience clear
Of hurting all the people that I hold so dear
And someday I’ll get it right
Be able to sleep at night
Living and loving and growing and knowing
I’ll never get it right
I’d still like a, I’d like a, I’d like a, oh I’d like
I’d like a, I’d like a, I’d like a, oh I’d like
Someday to get it right
Be able to sleep at night
Living and loving and growing and knowing
I’ll never get it right
But I’d still like a bright idea
I’d like a soul that sings
I’d like a conscience clear
Oh and I’d like a, I’d like a, I’d like a, oh I’d like
I’d like a, I’d like a, I’d like a, oh I’d like
