"What If" lyrics

One day

What if one day?

What if I say?

I wish I was a tree and then suddenly I was a tree, then could I wish myself back?

No trees can't wish

What if I wished I was a wishing tree?

A tree that could wish

What if I wished I was a toilet bowl

And then I was one, and the wind changed

And I stayed that way?

Or, that if I wished I was a toilet bowl, and suddenly I was a tree?

Would I be able to say "hey I wanted to be a toilet bowl not a tree no I wouldn't be able to say that, trees can't talk they don't have any mouth

I would have to have the foresight to say "I wish I was a toilet but if I changed id turn into a tree instead, I wish Id be a tree with a mouth and could wish anything and change back into a human being, because Id only ever want to be a toilet or a tree for a varied period of time

I guess

This is the exact reason

Why they always say

You should be very careful what you wish for
