Wishes [French translation]

Be careful what you wish for cos wishes can come true

Before too long you're wishing through your days

At the end of every rainbow there's a pot of gold for you

But more gold to be had along the way

I see folks save money for a place they'll never be

I see folks making money for kids they'll never see

See people lock themselves away and throw away the key

Singing one day I'll be free (bis)

Be careful what you wish for cos wishes can come true

Before too long you're wishing through your days

There's a long and winding road and a light that shines for you

But all the little lights along the way

I see folks make promises that they'll never keep

And people throw themselves away so cheap

And people lock the truth away

And they bury it down so deep

Singing one day I'll believe (bis)

Be careful what you wish for cos wishes can come true

Before too long you're wishing through your days

See heaven holds a place for you don't mean that life's a race for you

Just take it step by step and day by day

You take it step by step and day by day
