Little girl at a lonely well

With the same little tale to tell

Feeling trapped by the walls that hold her

Feeling stuck in the story they've told her

Another day where she fades away

Never daring to disobey

So she's dreaming all alone

Sharing secrets with the stone

My father told me long ago

I braved a bitter storm of snow

Is that a girl I'll ever know again?

I'm waiting on a wish

Beneath a thousand treetops

And as the silver sky stops

I send a whisper to the water

Waiting on a wish

Holding out for someday

Hoping somehow, some way

I'll become my father's daughter

I close my eyes and see

The girl I'm meant to be

Is she a part of me I've yet to find?

Wondering, will she appear?

Or will I be forever here?

Waiting on a wish

Little girl by a wild wood

As she tries to be someone good

But in the shadow the kingdom's caught in

Somehow, fairness is long forgotten

So will she rise or bow her head?

Will she lead, or just be led?

Is she the girl she always said she'd be?

Waiting on a wish

Beneath a thousand treetops

And as the silver sky stops

I long to leave the walls behind me

Waiting on a wish

Holding out for someday

Hoping somehow, some way

There comes a miracle to find me

I close my eyes and see

The girl I'm meant to be

Is she a part of me I've had to hide?

Wondering, will she appear?

Or will I spend another year?

Waiting on a wish

They say all you have to do

To make your wish come true is

Let it echo, echo, echo, echo

Your voice will carry through

And bring that dream to you

Just like an echo, echo, echo

Well, I can hear the echo loud and clear

But I'm still waiting here

Waiting on a wish

Beyond a whisper to the water

Waiting on a wish

Is it almost someday?

Can I somehow some way

Learn to be my father's daughter

Someone who could finally start?

Start speaking with a fearless heart?

Someone who just might be brave?

Someone no one needs to save?

Well, I can always dream, but then

I wake up and it's me again

Waiting on a wish

Waiting on a wish

Waiting on a wish
