Dusty Drake - The Wish lyrics

The crowd rose to their feet 'Round a diamond made of clay A little boy was rounding third But the ball beat him to the plate Before the dust could even settle The other team began to cheer Instead of riding up on shoulders He's fighting back the tears I wish I could've won I wish I knew how that feels I wish I could've won Faster than the throw from center field 'Cause being the hero, sure looks like a lot of fun And I wish I was there I wish life was fair I wish I could've won Sitting there by the dugout Another boy was watching through the fence And dreaming 'bout the things that he could do If he was only given half a chance Amazed at the reaction of the team Kicking dirt and pitching fits He says, "I know they'd sit it differently if they could see from where I sit I wish I could've lost I wish I knew how that feels I wish that I could walk Without the help of these four wheels I'd be as happy as a hero Just to play the game at all And I wish that I was there I wish that life was fair I wish I could've lost Yeah I wish that life was fair And I could get out of this chair I wish I could've lost
