The river runs through the valley The sheep graze on the hill The sun so high in a boundless sky Shines down the day, until The night declares the watchful moon To guard us from all ill You believe your dreams, it's just a fantasy A secret world that can never be Verse A sprite of Nature's mystery From silver clouds she sends A whispering breeze through the dancing trees In a dance that never ends At close of day, through golden rains This kingdom, he ascends Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy A secret world that can never be Pre-Chorus While even as the earth is turning Something deep inside it's furnace Nothing comes from softly yearning Here at wishing time... Chorus Be careful what you wish for Dreams look different in the light of day Be careful what you wish for That deep desire to have your way Could burn you, and turn you head around... Verse Come walking from the dawn of time The winds of change arise With angels cheering, cheer for you And the foolish mound may rise The fool and all, all reason mouth Singing as they rise Keep it in your dreams, it's just a fantasy A secret world that can never be Pre-Chorus But even as the earth is turning Something deep inside it's furnace Nothing comes from softly yearning Here at wishing time... Chorus Be careful what you wish for Dreams look different in the light of day Be careful what you wish for That deep desire to have your way Could burn you, and turn you head around... Verse In the fairy forest, I was lost While searching for the gold With hopes of joy and happiness If riches I could hold I've lived in dreams for far too long And now I'm growing old Keep it in my dreams, it's just a fantasy A secret world that can never be Chorus Be careful what you wish for Dreams look different in the light of day Be careful what you wish for That deep desire to have your way Could burn you, and turn you head around... Chorus Be careful what you wish for Dreams look different in the light of day Be careful what you wish for That deep desire to have your way Could burn you, and turn you head around... Outro
