If Children Were Wishes
Wye Oak

If children were wishes, nMy mother spent hers on impossible thingsnMy brother was money, nMy sister was love, and I was world peacennMy brother, he spent it, nMy sister got pregnant, and all that I'm worthnWill only come true nWhen there are no more of us left on this earthnnIf hearts were machines that kept nRunning forever automatically,nThen you wouldn't be in that nHospital bed, on that saline I-VnnAnd if it's your diet, you stubbornly swearnThat it wasn't your fault,nYou rather be dead in that hospital bed nThan cut back on sugar and saltnnOh, aren't you afraid of nLiving in a major American city,nSo marry a stupid, nUnreachable girl who's impossibly prettynnAnd I've seen you drive everyday of your life, nAnd it's always a rush,nAnd I have to wonder nHow I ever let you do something so dangerousnnAnd so I suppose this is nJust how it goes no matter how I try,nI just have to watch you get nWeaker and weaker till you finally diennBut I have to remember nThe wish of my mother and all that I'm worth,nWhich will only come true nWhen there are no more of us left on this earth
