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

n' 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

ya when you'll 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 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've 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've never wished upon before
