Make a wish

By 蔡卓妍

非洲跟斑馬合照 冰島睇一次下雪
孩提時懷抱的理想 總不會忘掉
光陰都太少 飛進樂園 幻境中探險
天空中優美夜色 應該伸手去摘星
看每對期盼的眼睛 請準我承諾
伴你共行艱苦路程 沿途是笑聲
make a wish 不能更改天氣幻變
但仍盼望笑面重現 聽一聽
那心願 夢也可實踐
蔚藍的天不再下雨
豔陽照射悲傷退燒 笑一笑
再許願 現實有不盡意 都可改變
假使身體壯健些 他想開一次列車
如巡遊城市的勇者 這一個宏願
別種在人生的荒野 才成熟快些
make a wish 不能更改天氣幻變
每夜仍盼望笑面重現 聽一聽
那心願 夢也可實踐
蔚藍的天不再下雨
豔陽照射悲傷退燒 我跟你
再許願 入夜晚星在照
make a wish 不能更改天氣幻變
每夜仍盼望笑面重現 聽一聽
那心願 夢也可實踐
蔚藍的天不再下雨
豔陽照射悲傷退燒
我跟你 再許願 入夜晚星在照
