Did You Know WISH Has a Theme Song?
“If Wishes Were Horses”
– by Tera Warner
Last year we had the lovely Stacey Terry write and sing this call then produce it with Miles Littman! We haven’t taken the time to bring it out yet this year, but would love to share our little jingle and hear your thoughts about what you think of it!
The idea of calling it If Wishes Were Horses came from the interview that I did last year with Marla Cilley, “The Fly Lady.” At the end of our conversation she mentioned an old poem called If Wishes Were Horses.
[Download this call as an MP3 here.]
I always get particularly choked up when I read the lyrics:
If Wishes Were Horses
If wishes were horses
then beggars would ride
as free as the mountains
as wild as the tides
Wish and let me ride
let me ride
If wishes were sparrows
then caged hearts would fly
above the aching cities
across the endless sky
Wish and let me fly
let me fly
Lives full of dreams full of hope
full of fire for the things that might be
Hold on just move on and trust
in your heart to find the light that you need
You’ll find what you need
[instrumental]
If wishes were horses
then beggars would ride
as free as the mountains
as wild as the tides
Wish and let me ride
let me ride
This song was written by Stacey Terry and produced by Miles Littman. You can learn more about their jammin’ jamboree here: “Old No.3 Trio”.
Let us know what you think in the comment section below! If you feel inspired to write us a new one for next year, or write new lyrics, run with it!!
Love and best WISHes,
Tera
