Story Behind The Song
I lost my 18 year old son Brandon in January of this year. I wrote "One Wish" in memory of him and performed it at his funeral.
Song Description
Death is final and it hurts like hell when you go through the experience of losing someone you love dearly. One Wish is just what it says, wishing that someone can come back to you. Wishing that the experience of death was all a dream that you can awake from.

Lyrics
One Wish
Verse 1
You gave me hope for a brighter future, it shone like gold from the morning you were born
I felt like God had answered me when I prayed for a miracle so beautiful and strong
Made me a promise that every morning when I awoke I'd see your smiling face
But promises are made to be broken and you proved that fact to me today
Chorus
We shared a life some only dream of
And everything I did for you was out of God's love
But where are you now I'm alone
If I could have one wish come true
That wish would be to bring you safely home
Verse 2
There are no words to give me comfort, just memories that stab me in the heart
We made a deal that even if the sky should fall, only death could keep us apart
Chorus
We shared a life some only dream of
And everything I did for you was out of God's love
But where are you now I'm alone
If I could have one wish come true
That wish would be to bring you safely home
If I could have one wish come true
That wish would be to bring you safely home
