Power everybody wants it but absolute power corrupts absolutely.


Power


I wish I could command the winds to stop
And I say to Lazarus
Hey you get up
I wish I could save the lives of many children
And be the shining light of all my brethren
I wish I could hold the stars in my hands
And fly on a magical carpet
To distant lands
I wish the world belongs to me
So that I could foretell
What will be
In history
I wish my voice was as powerful
As thunder
And aeroplanes would clash as the sight of this wonder
I wish I could project my power
To the world with a spell
And turn disobedient nations
To a living hell
With fireballs and brimstones raining
From the sky
Like cats and dogs
And insects jumping around their garden like toads and frogs
But my power will meant for only good
And I vow not to abuse it
Understood
Angels would bow at my feet
Like the Prince
