Careful What You Wish For

The wish that you wished for upon a bright star Same wish that would stay Locked inside a glass jar. Carrying around and peering right through it Dying to capture that wish you were'nt born with. Behooved you no longer grasp onto that wish For you now see in Life it's your source of anguish. Committing yourself Lends beginnings anew Releasing dead wishes you know can't come true. Your future's the wish now for dreaming on stars So set out n' find those old Locked up glass jars. One fell swoop will destroy each and every scar Can't Let who we were become who we are. Few are those who'll grasp wishes fewer still will prevail Be not Like them find your star in your heart you'll not fail. Take that jar from the shelf dusted polihed now fill it With so many wishes never'll be reason to spill it...
