Wishes Don't Come True

Wishes don't come true
I know that it's know but I'll say it again
You have got to be there too
A peddler attempting to sell to the wind
What is your world about
Are you sure of what you put out
Have you ever lied so loud
You made it all seem true
Is there passion behind the gain
Do figure that what is in your brain
Will make the people pay
And be the one they choose
Don't let anyone be you
Wishes don't come true
A phrase we learn but leave to dust
Soothing like a flute
Be wary of all the lies in lust
What is your reason for
Will you keep knocking at the door
To find yourself at war
With everything to lose
Tell us about your plans
Perhaps we can understand
The way you hope and pray
You'll be the one they choose
Don't let anyone be you
Wishes don't come true
A mound of sand can be a cliff
Reading Tom Thumb's Blues
And writing words to get the lift
What is your world about
Are you sure of what you put out
Have you ever lied so loud
You made it all seem true
Is there passion behind the gain
Do figure that what is in your brain
Will make the people pay
And be the one they choose
Don't let anyone be you
