Story Behind The Song
I've been hiding me for a long time. Once I was able to come out as part of the LGBTQ community, I felt more free than I ever have. Life is too short to hide who you are...always be you.

Lyrics
VERSE
I say two and two make five
Greater than the sum of our parts
Wasted tears for someone else
Colder than winters heart
Don't lower your expectations
About what's down the road
There's always rules to exceptions
Debt for what you're owed
CHORUS
Be careful what you wish for
No one owes you a thing
Be careful what you risk for
The far right or the left wing
The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view
VERSE
Nobody's born the same
That's by the grand design
The different flavors of life
Is what makes it so damn fine
Don't buy what they sell you
You see it every day
Spoon fed by the talking heads
There got to be a better way
CHORUS
Be careful what you wish for
No one owes you a thing
Be careful what you risk for
The far right or the left wing
The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view
BRIDGE
You never know who's watching you
The worlds a big bad place
Life can be a long strange trip
Don't let it be a waste
CHORUS
Be careful what you wish for
No one owes you a thing
Be careful what you risk for
The far right or the left wing
The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view
The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view
