A thousand wishes folded up—
Paper wings that will never fly—
Bound on a string and brightly dyed.
Mystic cranes each dream envelop.
Wishes, hopes, and dreams they pile up,
All crushed by broken hearts and lies.
A thousand wishes folded up:
Paper wings that will never fly.
Fold up each wish in paper white,
All those broken hearts and breakups,
Every injury and shakeup—
God willing, paper wings will fly.
A thousand wishes folded up.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
