Careful What You Wish

Go on make a wish, for mine came true A sure thing, appeared out of the blue Make it a good one, could be your last Everything eventually, comes to pass Wish for happiness, wish for release Make sure it’s something, within reach You won’t be able, to resurrect the dead That would be a miracle, all being said Go on make a wish, do it straight away For who grants, these requests anyway Toss some coins, into a fountain or well Cross your fingers, to enhance the spell Touch wood, in case things turn to stone Break a chickens clavicle, old wishbone Seek shooting stars, find pie in the sky I wished my life away, time duly obliged.
