I know I may be wishing
   On a world
   That may never be
   But I'll keep on wishing
  
   No matter how hopeless
   Or foolish
   It may seem
   I'll keep on wishing
  
   I'll toss my coins in the fountain
   Look for clovers in grassy lawns
   Search for shooting stars in the night
   Cross my fingers and dream on
  
   I know I may be dreaming
   Of a world
   Far from present day reality
   But I'll keep on dreaming
  
   No matter how unrealistic
   Or naive
   It may seem
   Always keep dreaming
  
   And toss your coins in the fountain
   Look for clovers in grassy lawns
   Search for shooting stars in the night
   Cross your fingers and dream on
  
   We must always be thinking
   Of a world
   As a place of infinite possibilities
   And always keep thinking
  
   No matter how hopeless
   Or foolish
   It may seem
   Always keep thinking
  
   And toss our coins in the fountain
   Look for clovers in grassy lawns
   Search for shooting stars in the night
   Cross our fingers and dream on
  
   I'll keep on wishing
   We must always keep dreaming
   Of a world
   With equality and justice
   Thinking
   There could be a world
   Without poverty and sickness
   Wishing
   Of a world
   Without hunger and homelessness
   Dreaming
   Of a world
   Where all people live in peace
   Dreaming
   Of a world
   Dreaming
   On a world
