I love this song. I dont know the comp version, but I love love love this version, so I can't imagine one that was better. The images that he constructs here are beautiful and poignant, and I can completely understand the wish to be good for something. Sometimes a person feels useless or like they're contributing nothing, especially when there's so many things wrong in the world, and this is the perfect song to sum up a wish to do more than you feel you're managing. Wishes don't do dishes, or solve world poverty, or stop bombings, but we continue to hope that our wishes do something good.
