What You Get
Sometimes you don’t get what you want.
Thoughts of having everything in this world.
Maybe dreams come true.
Sometimes you don’t get what you want.
Sometimes you don’t get what you want,
Chasing after beauty supreme,
A flawless physique,
Sometimes you don’t get what you want.
Sometimes you don’t get what you want,
Unmeasurable riches,
Endless spending galore,
Sometimes you don’t get what you want.
Sometimes you don’t get what you want, Power and strength,
Returning status and control,
Sometimes you don’t get what you want.
Sometimes…everything in your world,
Is your dream come true.
The reality of the beauty around you.
Viewing God’s supreme flawless beauty in nature.
Harmonious friendships framed by unique personalities.
The holding of rich people in your life.
Unmeasurable times to be thankful.
Quality time spending with those who love. Power to overcome.
The footing to stand.
Strength to find yourself again
And ability to move forward
With perseverance for life.
Sometimes you want what you get.
