What You Ask For Lyrics & Chords By The Wyrd Sisters

it happened in a moment
almost as if she chose it
with careful thought and planning
so precise in her intent
she said, "be careful what you ask for
'cause it could be the thing that takes you down
that road you didn't plan for
that road you could not see"
and it was over in an instant
a sleight of hand, a falling star
he turned his head and held there
perhaps he tried to see too far
and he said, "be careful what you look for
it isn't often what you see
and it's rarely what you ask for
though it might be what you need"
she said, "be careful what you ask for
'cause it could be the thing that takes you down
that road you never plan for
that road you could not see"
and he said, "go ahead and dream more
because life is more than what you see
and that road you never plan for
well it might be what you need
it might be the one you need"
