Thread Name: ADD: Song for the Mira (Allister MacGillivray)^^^
Subject: RE: Song for the Mira
How do people feel about changing the tense of verbs in songs? The refrain line is:

"And I wish I was with them again."

It correct grammar says it should be, "And I wish I were with them again"

I suppose one can sing it however one wishes, but if I'm writing out the words for others to sing along, would it be wrong to correct the verb?
