I once wished upon a wishing well
I wished that I could fly
So I flew up to the tower's bell
But found I could not fell
So I drifted about the sky
‘Till I caught my mother's eye
When Mother got me down
I wished upon the little well once more

I once wished upon a wishing well
I wished that I could walk
So I walked down to the little creek
But found I could not stop
So I drifted about the park
‘Till I heard my puppy's bark
When puppy got me to the well
I wished upon the little well once more

I once wished upon a wishing well
I wished everything would be fine
So I went down to my little house
But found nothing had been changed
So I looked around the town
‘Till I found I could still fly
When I got to my little house
I found everything I need right inside my home
