[Intro] B G#m A E [Verse] 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 A So she's dreaming all alone Bbm D# Sharing secrets with the stone [Pre-Chorus] G#m E My father told me long ago B I braved a bitter storm of snow C#m7 F#sus4 F# Is that a girl I'll ever know again? [Chorus] D I'm waiting on a wish A Beneath a thousand treetops Bm And as the silver sky stops G I send a whisper to the water D Waiting on a wish A Holding out for someday Bm Hoping somehow, some way G I'll become my father's daughter D I close my eyes and see A The girl I'm meant to be Bm Is she a part of me Gm I've yet to find? D Wondering, will she appear? A Or will I be forever here? D Waiting on a wish [Verse] 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 E Somehow, fairness is long forgotten [Pre-Chorus] G#m E So will she rise or bow her head? B Will she lead, or just be led? Is she the girl Em F# she always said she'd be? [Chorus] D I'm waiting on a wish A Beneath a thousand treetops Bm And as the silver sky stops G I long to leave the walls behind me D Waiting on a wish A Holding out for someday Bm Hoping somehow, some way G There comes a miracle to find me D I close my eyes and see A The girl I'm meant to be Bm Is she a part of me Gm I've had to hide? D Wondering, will she appear? A Or will I spend another year? Bm Waiting on a wish [Bridge] G They say all you have to do D To make your wish come true is A Let it echo, echo, echo, echo Bm G Your voice will carry through D And bring that dream to you A Just like an echo, echo, echo C Well, I can hear the G D echo loud and clear N.C. F#m G But I'm still waiting here [Instrumental] G [Chorus] D A Bm Waiting on a wish G Beyond a whisper to the water D Waiting on a wish A Is it almost someday? Bm Can I somehow some way G Learn to be my father's daughter D Someone who could finally start? F#7 F# Start speaking with a fearless heart? Bm Someone who just might be brave? E Someone no one needs to save? D Well, I can always dream, but then A Gm I wake up and it's me again [Outro] D Waiting on a wish Bm G Gm Waiting on a wish D Waiting on a wish
