Johnny Clegg - Wishing Well lyrics

The world is a beautiful place
And it’s worth fighting for together
I pick you up, carry you
Ain’t heavy, light as a feather


I would not give you false hope
I will not let you cry
I know you’ve been down that road
So many times


Oh Mama, oh Mama



Sometimes we step into the dark
To see the light
We only see the stars at night
From our prison cells

(Come on, Oh Mama, oh Mama)

Sometimes we step into the dark
So we can see the light
Holding on to hope so tight
Like a wishing well (Come on)
(Oh Mama, oh Mama)


You left my world so long ago
And I know you became a loner
You felt the wind blow through your soul
Like a dream looking for it's owner


I won’t tell you tomorrow
Will always have blue skies
I know you’ve been down that road
So many times


Oh Mama, oh Mama


Sometimes we save another soul
That we can save ourselves
We only see the stars at night
From our prison cells

(Come on, Oh Mama, oh Mama)
Sometimes we step into the dark
So we can see the light
Holding on to hope so tight
Like a wishing well

(Come on, Oh Mama, oh Mama)

Sometimes we save another soul
That we can save ourselves
We only see the stars at night
From our prison cells

(Come on, Oh Mama, oh Mama)

This world is for the people
I am my brother’s keeper (keeper)
This world is for the people (people)
(Oh Mama, oh Mama) like a wishing well

This world is for the people (people)
I am my brother’s keeper (keeper)
This world is for the people (people)
(Oh Mama, oh Mama) like a wishing well
Sometimes we step into the dark
To see the light holding on to hope so tight
Like a wishing well like a wishing well
Like a wishing well
