[Verse 1: Marc Broussard]
I wish you freedom, I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars that beckon you to sleep
I wish you heartache that leaves you more of a man
I wish I could be there but I can't

[Verse 2: Lauren Daigle]
I wish you places that sit so still
Where people never ever change and never ever will
I wish I could hold you and make you understand
I wish I could be there but I can't

[Chorus: Lauren Daigle, Marc Broussard, Together]
Be good for your mama
'Cause she'll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you'll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothin' stayed the same
But you know my love still remains

[Verse 3: Lauren Daigle, Marc Broussard, Together]
I wish you wisdom, I wish you years
I wish you armies to conquer all your fears
I wish you courage for all that life demands
I wish I could be there but I can't
[Chorus: Lauren Daigle, Marc Broussard, Together]
Be good for your mama
'Cause she'll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you'll know, oh, oh
There are rhymes and there are reasons (There are reasons)
And times when nothin' stayed the same
But you know, oh, you know my love remains

[Verse 4: Marc Broussard, Lauren Daigle, Together]
I wish we were together, I wish I was home, mmm
I wish there were nights where I was never alone
I know I've said it but I'll say it once again
I wish I could be there but I can't
