about

I actually wrote this song a while back, started recording it, then left it for a while. Coming back to it, I felt it would fit in well with the theme of this album. Basically, it is a "be careful what you wish for" song.

lyrics

Standing by the wishing well
Dropping in your dreams
Each one added to
A million more
Countless times your hopes were dashed
This time they may come to pass
Throwing wishes in the well

Guard your wishes carefully
Don't throw them around carelessly
You never know
They just might come true
You search the sky for shooting stars
Dissatisfied with where you are
Throwing wishes in the well

If wishes all could fly
On their wings, we'd ride
Viewing life
From a higher plane
But on the ground, we stand
Doing the best we can
Throwing wishes in the well

Ooo a million wishes in the well
Be mindful what you ask
Ooo there is a price for everything
Throwing wishes in the well

Granted wishes you will see
Not always what they seem to be
Once their done, you cannot wish them back
Head the voice inside your head
Look to all that you have instead
Of wishing in the well

If wishes all could fly
On their wings, we'd ride
Viewing life
From a higher plane
But on the ground, we stand
Doing the best we can
Throwing wishes in the well
