Be Careful
Be careful what you wish for even as a little girl
When prayers are sent out they are heard
With a heart of gold behind every word
The answers will come to the questions you ask
Even if they are from a distant past
Maybe not now but in years or weeks
You will end up getting what you seek
Your wishes will change as you grow older
Reality sets in and hearts grow colder
Once you see that you have the favor of the powers that be
Youll wonder if youll ever be free
Of the life and dream you so desperately wanted
How will you wield the responsibilty
Without leaving a trail of the broken hearted?
