ORIGINAL LYRICS

Wisher

"There is a time of magic"
Said the wisher to the well,
She tossed her penny into it
To see what it would tell

A frog jumped out into her lap
And she gave a healthy scream
The frog said, "What is the difference
Between the dreamer and the dream?"

Chorus:
It is said you can never walk through the same river twice
For it is ever changing just like fire and ice
When you broke my heart did you take a piece with you
Or did you toss it into the river when you decided we were through?

There is a time of mercy
Said the wisher to the sky
A crane flew down and kissed her
Though she didn’t quite know why

It raised its huge white wings
And took off to the western sea
A bright speck in the sunset
Spreading luminosity

Chorus
It is said you can love someone but you can never make them love you back
Whatever you resist is just what you attract
When you walked out on me did you ever see my pain
You can’t see me crying when I’m standing in the rain

There is a time of mystery
Said the wisher to the night
The stars made a crown around her head
As she danced in the firelight

We are the children of the stars
She sang but there was no one there to hear
Our time on earth is meant to teach us
To overcome each fear

She slowly shed her garments
And set them neatly on a stone
Then she turned into a raven
And flew away all alone
