Lyrics
You threw all your money into the wishing well
All to bring luck, wealth and success
Prosperity and affection
The future was all that you needed
To put the world at your feet
Depending on hope trusting in faith
For things to come your way
I want to rise from this ditch
I want to be rich
I will pay every fee
If you please come to me
I will hitchhike my way back home
I will crawl, bleed and roam
If you just make my will come true
My new life starts here with you
A poorer face, a smile so new
As the years went by you had to revise your account
Taking your time, limit the claims, aiming a little lower
Misfortunes they did not stop you
You were looking the other way
You always knew that beyond the next bend
You'd find the rainbow's end
I want to rise from this ditch
I want to be rich
I will pay every fee
If you please come to me
I will hitchhike my way back home
I will crawl, bleed and roam
If you just make my will come true
My new life starts here with you
A poorer face, a smile so new
Some things are meant to be
Some must be meant for me
And you can see for miles
You can see for miles
You can see for miles
Miles and miles
In search of a fortune and every treasure
That's what you deserve
If you finally win your life would begin
As the state you would prefer
But do you know where you are
Cause this state is so far
There's a chance this can go wrong
But you can see for miles
Yes, you can see for miles
You can see for miles
Miles and miles
Sometimes I've been on the border
Of the land where dreams come true
But it's always the same I'm back once again
To the square where I once started out
Now when I'm old and lonely
I've come to realize
It was a race back up to the well
Now I'm waiting for the change
I want to rise from this ditch
I want to be rich
I will pay every fee
If you please come to me
I will hitchhike my way back home
I will crawl, bleed and roam
If you just make my will come true
My new life starts here with you
A poorer face, a smile so new
So new
