B G#m A E
[Verse 1]
B Little girl at a lonely well
G#m With the same little tale to tell
A Feeling trapped by the walls that hold her
E Feeling stuck in the story they've told her
B Another day where she fades away
G#m Never daring to disobey
ASo she's dreaming all alone
Bbm D#Sharing secrets with the stone
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m E My father told me long ago
BI braved a bitter storm of snow
C#m7 F#sus4 F#Is that a girl I'll ever know again?
[Chorus]
DI'm waiting on a wish
ABeneath a thousand treetops
BmAnd as the silver sky stops
GI send a whisper to the water
DWaiting on a wish
AHolding out for someday
BmHoping somehow, some way
GI'll become my father's daughter
DI close my eyes and see
AThe girl I'm meant to be
Bm GmIs she a part of me I've yet to find?
DWondering, will she appear?
AOr will I be forever here?
DWaiting on a wish
[Verse 2]
B Little girl by a wild wood
G#m As she tries to be someone good
A But in the shadow the kingdom's caught in
ESomehow, fairness is long forgotten
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m E So will she rise or bow her head?
BWill she lead, or just be led?
Em F#Is she the girl she always said she'd be?
[Chorus]
DI'm waiting on a wish
ABeneath a thousand treetops
BmAnd as the silver sky stops
GI long to leave the walls behind me
DWaiting on a wish
AHolding out for someday
BmHoping somehow, some way
GThere comes a miracle to find me
DI close my eyes and see
AThe girl I'm meant to be
Bm GmIs she a part of me I've had to hide?
DWondering, will she appear?
AOr will I spend another year?
BmWaiting on a wish
[Bridge]
GThey say all you have to do
DTo make your wish come true is
ALet it echo, echo, echo, echo
Bm G Your voice will carry through
DAnd bring that dream to you
AJust like an echo, echo, echo
C G DWell, I can hear the echo loud and clear
N.C. F#m GBut I'm still waiting here
[Instrumental]
G
[Chorus]
D A BmWaiting on a wish
GBeyond a whisper to the water
DWaiting on a wish
AIs it almost someday?
BmCan I somehow some way
GLearn to be my father's daughter
DSomeone who could finally start?
F#7 F#Start speaking with a fearless heart?
BmSomeone who just might be brave?
ESomeone no one needs to save?
DWell, I can always dream, but then
A GmI wake up and it's me again
[Outro]
DWaiting on a wish
Bm G GmWaiting on a wish
