Broadway production (2015) Allegiance The Musical - Wishes On The Wind Lyrics
"Wishes On The Wind" is a song from the musical Allegiance performed by Lea Salonga (Kei) & Telly Leung (Sammy). Music & Lyrics by Jay Kuo.
KEI: At this time each year As we celebrate the harvest We hang a wish high Upon a wishing tree
SAMMY: If the wind's strong enough To collect your wish and take it Tradition says That your wish will come be
TATSUO: Once again I make a wish to honor The memory of your mother
SAMMY: What's it say?
TATSUO: If you study Japanese, you would know "For my daughter, a husband. For my son-"
SAMMY: Lemme guess. Law school
TATSUO: I would settle for respect
KEI: This time of year Always makes me think of Mama She loved this day Though her wishes were few She was the heartbeat Of every celebration
SAMMY: You know that sounds a lot like you
KEI: Then maybe wishes do come true Wishes on the wind Drifting through the night Connecting friends and family As they float away from sight
KEI & SAMMY: Wishes on the wind Are wishes that we share Not only for ourselves, but for The ones we love Who'll always be there
SAMMY: For my sister, I wish For a cottage by the ocean A quiet place That's entirely her own
KEI: For my brother, I wish For great journeys and adventures To see the world 'til he Fin'ly misses home
SAMMY: I wish that I Didn't have to play the good son Waste years in school Just so Pop would think I'm smart
KEI: I wish that I Didn't have to play the mother Though it would tear Papa apart
KEI & SAMMY: I've got to make a brand new start
ALL: Wishes on the wind Dreams that touch the sky Our heads are bowed Our eyes are lifted Hope is riding high
Wishes on the wind And though they travel far Somehow, someday They'll find their way Right back to us Right back to us
KEI & SAMMY: New dreams with new mysteries Someday I'll unravel them New roads with new histories Someday I will travel them I will travel them
ALL: Sato-bito wa (sato-bito wa) Ine ni uta yomu (ine ni uta yomu) Miyako kana (miyako kana) Sato-bito wa (wishes on the...)
Wishes on the wind Dreams that touch the sky Our heads are bowed Our eyes are lifted Hope is riding high
Wishes on the wind And though they travel far
Somehow, someday They'll find their way Right back to us
Right back to us Right back to us
Wherever we are
