I could have sat down at your table,
I could have drank from your sweet wine,
Could have had your arms around me all the time,
Could have heard the things you told me,
I could have listened to your cries,
I could have heard what you were saying, but I just heard lies.

Now I'm wishing on a dream,
Now I'm wishing on a dream,
Now I'm wishing on a dream,
Dreaming don't mean a thing.

Could have been set free from prison,
I could have been set free from Hell,
Could have had my sins forgiven, I know now,
I could have been a friend of Jesus, like those common fishermen,
I could have walked in faith beside him.

Now I'm wishing on a dream,
I'm wishing on a dream,
Now I'm wishing on a dream,
Dreaming don't mean a thing.
