A great Gloria Estefan song that has held up well since its release in the late 90s is "I Wish You." Not only is it pretty musically and one of her stronger songs vocally, "I Wish You" is very poignant with what it has to say and always makes me think of forgiveness and how it feels when we're no longer bitter towards the person we've been hurt by most. It's a powerful song and always gives me goosebumps when I hear it!
But I'm still seeking a great song that captures the pain of wanting to ask someone else for forgiveness for something you've never forgiven yourself for. I know exactly who I'd dedicate that song to if I had the nerve. Sometimes there are things some of us have done in our past that keep us up on quiet nights like tonight and we'd do anything to say how sorry we are...
I Wish You lyrics
The day I was born I knew a lot of things
But now that I’m grown I’m just remembering where I have been
Might of we met before
Suddenly something just led you back to my door
Looking to settle the score, but no more
Deceive me, hurt and mislead me
All that I wish you is love
Confuse me, damage and use me
All that I wish you is love
Believe me it’s hard to turn the other cheek
Faithful and kind might be confused for weak, an innocent streak
Learning a lot from you
Making me stronger each time you think I’ve been beat
Whatever you scatter, you reap, but doubt me
Defeat me, shame and mistreat me
All that I wish you is love
Despise me, lie, criticise me
All that I wish you is love
Then I forget but I forgive you, if it happens again
The way that I grew, I owe it to you
I have you to thank
Deceive me, hurt and mislead me
All that I wish you is love
Confuse me, damage and use me
All that I wish you is love
Defeat me, shame and mistreat me
All that I wish you is love
Despise me, lie, criticise me
All that I wish you is love
All that I wish you is love
