[Verse 1]
Little girl
Living in a war torn world
She keeps tearing out her eyelashes
She keeps tearing out her eyelashes
And blowing them in the wind
She can't wait for the wish to come
She can’t wait for the wish to come

[Verse 2]
Little boy
Saving up his hard earned pay
He throws it in a well one day
He throws it in a well one day
Like a river on the run
He can't wait for the wish to come
He can't wait for the wish to come

[Chorus]
Child
Finds them all
We can try
We can try
But we be can’t control (We can't control, we can't control)
Where the wind blows

[Verse 3]
Mean old man
Living in the promised land
He's telling her to feel alone
He's telling her to feel alone
Like she's the only one
He can't wait for the war to come
He can't wait for the war to come

[Chorus]
Child
Finds them all
We can try
We can try
But we can’t control (We can’t control, we can't control)
Where the wind blows

[Bridge]
Ohh-ohh-ohh

[Verse 4]
Little girl
Growing up day by day
She learns to change her childish ways
She learns to change her childish ways
With the beating of her drum
She can’t wait for the wish to come
She can't wait for the wish to come
