Lyrics
Have you ever wanted something so bad?
That all at once it made you happy and sad
Have you ever yearned
And thought that everything you'd learned
Would finally
Pay off
Have you ever wanted something so bad?
Hoping
Wanting
And waiting
Working
Wishing
And Praying
Have you ever wanted something so bad?
Have you ever wanted something so much?
That thing that needed just your touch
Have you ever known
And thought you'd surely own it
And make it yours
One day
Have you ever wanted something so much?
Hoping
Wanting
And waiting
Working
Wishing
And Praying
Have you ever wanted something so much?
Have you ever wanted something for so long?
That things always seemed to be wrong
Have you ever searched
And thought that all of your hard work
Would be hopelessly
In vain
Have you ever wanted something for so long?
Hoping
Wanting
And waiting
Working
Wishing
And Praying
Have you ever wanted something for so long?
Hoping
Wanting
And waiting
Working
Wishing
And Praying
Have you ever wanted something
Have you ever wanted something
Have you ever wanted something so bad?
