Great song. Reminds me of the saying that;

"You should be careful of what you wish for, because you just might get it"

Also reminds me of the lines spoken by Leonard Nimoy (as Spock);

“After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true".

Many times we really do not know what we want or more importantly need.
