What'cha wanna be - when you grow up
What'cha gonna do - when your time is up
What'cha gonna say - when things go wrong
What'cha gonna do - when you're on your own
There's a road - long and winding
The lights are blindin' - but it gets there
Don't give up - don't look back
There's a silver linin' - It's out there somewhere
Everybody wants an answer - Everybody needs a friend
We all need a shinin' star on which we can depend
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before
(To find what we're looking for.)
There'll be times - In your life
Yeah - When you'll be dancin' n' shit - But you ain't gettin' it
But don't get disillusioned - No, don't expect too much
'Cause if what you have is all you can get - Just keep on trying
It just ain't happened yet
Everybody wants to be a winner - Everybody has a dream
We all need a shinin' star when things ain't what they seem
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before
(Gotta get where you're headed for.)
Everybody wants some kindness - Everybody needs a break
We all need a shinin' star when things get hard to take
So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before
Yeah - Tonight we're gonna wish upon a star
We've never wished upon before
Gotta find what you're lookin' for
So don't get disillusioned
No, don't expect to much
Yeah - It's out there somewhere babe
