That Well

Oh well, what a wishing well

My penny I gave away

For the hopes on which I dwell

For the things I want to stay

For a tomorrow more than yesterday

Oh, if I could only tell

Maybe then you'd understand

What I told that wishing well

Was something so beyond grand

Something more wonderful than wonderland

But my lips must stay sealed

If I really want that thing

I must control what I feel

I cannot let myself scream

Though I want to scream out loud that one dream

I will trust that well for now

To get that which we desire

We must honor all those vows

I will do all that's required

I won’t let this world make me a liar

Oh well, that old wishing well

Had my penny been a waste

To that dream I'll say farewell

But know that little will change

For That dream was one among many today
