D			Am 
If I had words like a hammer 
D			C 
If I had powers unreal 
D			Am 
Then I would tear down Megiddo 
G				D	Am 
And I would bring you songs of love 
G		D6	Em 
And every child of tomorrow 
C	Dsus4		A 
Safely in his bed could lie 
D				Em 
And hate would die of starvation 
A 
I wish it was	(I wish it was) 
Em			A 
Wish it was today it was 
 
I wish it was	(I wish it was) 
Em 
Wish it was today .... 
 
I’d find an old man lonely 
In the autumn of his years 
I’d find a young girl hoping 
To lose herself in love 
And to both I’d give a rainbow 
For neither side can make it on their own 
Young and old come together 
I wish it was	(I wish it was) 
Wish it was today it was 
I wish it was	(I wish it was) 
Wish it was today .... 
 
I’ll find some magic morning 
I’ll take a boat out on the sea 
Maybe run before the west wind 
To bring you songs of love 
And every fear for tomorrow 
In my head could surely lie 
And you and I - we’d be together 
 
I wish it was	(I wish it was) 
Wish it was today it was 
I wish it was	(I wish it was) 
Wish it was today ....
