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 wanna 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 N' so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star We never wished upon before - (to find what you're looking for) There'll be times - in your life Ya when you' be dancin' n' shit - but you ain't gettin it But don't get disillusioned - no, don't expect too much Cuz if what you have is all you can get - just keep on tryin' - it just ain't happened yet Everybody wants ta be 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
