Be Very Careful

Verse 1
Someday tears can be laughter
And pain can be relief
If there is darkness in your life
All of it might turn into light

Someday prayers can be answered
If you just wait a while
But you should be somewhat cautious
Be aware of what you wish for

I'm not trying to control you
I'm only trying to be a friend
What I tell you is reliable
It will help you in the end

Verse 2
Someday losses can be wins
Only if you play the game right
And as you encounter fear
Courage will help you prevail

Someday problems can lead to solutions
And everything is at ease
But some things aren't definite
So you have to keep on trying

Some people that you meet will be your friends
Others will continue to pretend
They'll have no support to lend

Verse 3
Someday screams can be chants
Of a song stuck in your mind
You will not be interrupted
Your ballad will be heard

Someday rags can turn into riches
And you will be more self-assured
Your efforts to reach success
Prove that you have passed the test

When you set out to do something
You sometimes get side-tracked
But that's no reason to quit
You'll eventually learn from your mistakes

Chorus
Be very careful today
There's so much I have to tell you
Be very careful today
Time always seems to slip away
If you choose to listen to me
You can cast sorrow away
But if you don't give heed at this moment
You'll only have yourself to blame
