All I want to do 
Is wake up every morning and be happy and be care free 
And all I want to do 
Is love my man and make sure my family is okay 
And I want to sing, 
The songs that I write in my head 
On a stage, in a big place 
And I want to laugh 
Until tears fall down my face and my abs, are aching 

Is that too much to ask for, in my life, to have 
Nothing but the sweetest days 
Too much, for one, to have 
Or is it wishful thinking 

Oh I want to send 
My little brother Solomon to college, with no problem 
And how I hope 
The children that I sponsor down in Chile 
They get the money I send 
And I want to fly 
To Paris once a year for a vacation 
With my husband 
And I hope 
The nation stop fighting and find sweet peace, somewhere down deep 

Is that too much to ask for, in my life, to have 
Nothing but the sweetest days 
Too much, for one, to have 
Or is it wishful thinking 

I want my soul to fly free 
Without a single worry 
Fear or anxiety 
Could it be possible for all I wish to have 

Is that too much to ask for, in my life, to have 
Nothing but the sweetest days 
Too much, for one, to have 
Or is it wishful thinking
