That song immediately came to mind for me too.

often thought just IF

I had one wish I still have not come up with a good one except for the obvious

wish for more wishes

wish for Money

but another side of me

I would want to wish

Kids never have cancer

Kids never go hungry

Kids never know pain inflicted by a loved one

With these examples, the choice is obvous because the words wish and if only make it clear that the speaker is talking about something that is not so. In such a case the subjunctive is called for:
I wish I were…
If only it were…
Sometimes the choice whether to use the subjunctive or the indicative is not so clear. To a large extent, English speakers don’t pay much attention to the subjunctive.
As long ago as 1926 H.W. Fowler called the subjunctive in English “moribund.” He went further and suggested that it never was possible to draw up a consistent table of uses of the subjunctive in English that would correspond to such tables for Latin.
Although the subjunctive is not a big deal in English, some uses of it are still alive and not difficult to master.
Depending on context, the choice between indicative and subjunctive can be as obvious as the examples with “wish” and “if only.”..............

A person who got everything I wished for. I think that pretty much covers it.
