THIS IS WHAT I WANT

THIS IS WHAT I WANT

Music: Mary Margaret O’Hara
Lyrics: Maureen O’Hara Jolly, Catherine O’Hara, Patricia Wallace, Mary Margaret O’Hara

Some unspoken words to move a cold heart
the hands to set free what’s fallen apart
with all of our might we know that love lives 
in all that it takes and all that it gives

This is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want

Do all children see much clearer than we?
get out of their own way and let themselves be
as light to a fearful darkness that was
they’ll move to forgive, especially us

This is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want

What I could give you, you already have
what I could tell you, you already know
these things will last long after we’re gone
and throu-gh them our true lights will have shone

This is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want

Are there any words? no, nothing to say
but sounds of our hearts beat a heartbeat away
and closer than air and bright as the star
they seem to have gone 
they’re not very far…

This is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want, this is what I want
