They say that if you fold
A thousand paper cranes
You're gifted a single wish

I wonder, if I folded
A thousand paper cranes
For what thing would I ask?

Maybe as I folded
A thousand paper cranes
I'd discover the right wish

The secrets, hidden in
A thousand paper wings
Would tell me what to request

Just maybe, if I tried
I could learn the answer
From a thousand paper cranes
