Behind Closed Doors

She stares out her window and sees a bright, shiny star
She decides to make a wish, maybe for a house or a car
Or maybe for fancy clothes since that's what the rich people have
And for them it's always about smiles and laughs
And that's all she ever wanted, was to be happy for a change
Instead of spending her days crying and dreaming for things out of range
She hates never being able to afford all the good things in life
It seems the only thing she has is her pain and her strife

But as she's making this wish for beauty and wealth
Another girl is staring at the same star making a wish for herself
She could've wished for the same things the first girl was wishing for
But that would've been a waste for she has all that and more
She has the beauty and fame, the diamonds, houses, and cars
Yet she still isn't happy and still wishes on stars

But she's wishing for something different - for happiness instead of rings
She has all of that, now all she wants is the simple things
Like a mother who cares or privacy away from the eyes of the world
Who cares about the money, she just wants to be a normal girl
She wants everything Toni has and that's what she wished for
She figures if she had all of that she wouldn't need anything more
She knows beauty won't last forever and wealth can one day fade away
So she wants something everlasting that she knows will forever stay

So both of those girls are wishing to be in the shoes of the other
One wants beauty and riches, the other just wants a loving mother
Because no one is truly happy, for everyone will always want more
The grass is never greener on the other side, everyone still wishes behind closed doors

***You've all heard it - "the grass is always greener on the other side." But is it really? Is anyone's life truly greater than another's? In my opinion, the grass isn't greener on the other side. It's green everywhere and every shade is beautiful.***
