This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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 wanna 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 you're looking for)
There'll be times, in your life
Ya when you' be dancin' n' shit, but you ain't gettin it
But don't get disillusioned, no, don't expect too much
'Cause if what you have is all you can get just keep on
Tryin', it just ain't happened yet
Everybody wants to be 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 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 never wished upon before
What cha gonna do, when your time is up
What cha gonna say, when things go wrong
What cha wanna 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 you're looking for)
There'll be times, in your life
Ya when you' be dancin' n' shit, but you ain't gettin it
But don't get disillusioned, no, don't expect too much
'Cause if what you have is all you can get just keep on
Tryin', it just ain't happened yet
Everybody wants to be 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 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 never wished upon before
