Verse 1 The night keeps every unfinished thought alive. The porch light burns long after the road goes quiet. Some dreams never knock. They simply wait outside the door until someone is brave enough to let them in. Verse 2 I’ve learned that silence can carry hope. A heart can reach farther than two hands ever will. Not everything we’re meant to love is meant to belong to us, but it can still change the way we breathe. Chorus Wishing isn’t a sin. It’s the first step before courage finds its name. Every tomorrow begins as something invisible. Every sunrise starts in the dark. If all I have tonight is hope, then hope is enough. Wishing isn’t a sin. Verse 3 Some people chase answers. Some people become them. I’m somewhere between the two, walking slowly, still believing the next bend in the road might surprise me. Bridge If the world says “be realistic,” I’ll listen for a while. Then I’ll look back toward the horizon, because every journey was once just someone refusing to stop imagining. Final Chorus Wishing isn’t a sin. It’s how broken things remember how to heal. It’s how strangers become home. It’s how empty hands keep reaching. I’ll carry that truth wherever I go. As long as I can still wish, I’m still alive.
