so i had a wish

when i was young

i wanted to be all-powerful



but, actually

when i was young

i was only a wallflower full of it



oh, i knew the road would be bumpy

at the least i knew what i wanted to be



so i had a wish

when i was young

i wanted to be telepathic



but, actually

when i was young

i knew i was too mathemathic



oh, i knew the road would be bumpy

at the least i knew what i wanted to be

yeah



so i had a wish

when i was young

i wanted to be an oyster pearl



but, actually

when i was young

i was only just a chorus girl



oh, i knew the road would be bumpy

at the least i knew what i wanted to be

yeah
