I Wanted to Be

dreaming my future

 

I wanted to be

I wanted to be a cowboy, rassle cows to the ground,

I wanted to be a pilot, fly those airships all around

I wanted to be a star, hit the balls so very far,

I wanted to be a driver, burning rubber in my car

I wanted to be a doctor, save the lives of those in need,

I wanted to be a lawyer, when I was thinking gr eed

I wanted to be the mayor, take my city to the top,

I wanted to be an actor, hope I don't appear in a flop

I wanted to be a fireman, save the children from the fires,

I wanted to be a copper, catch the robbers, cheats and liars

I wanted to be a priest, help the sinners save they're souls,

I wanted to be a lover, playing the lead man roles,

I wanted to be a father, raise my children to be proud,

I wanted to be a weather guy, explaining the evening cloud

I wanted to be scientist, discover new things in this life,

I wanted to be a husband, have me a pretty wife

I wanted to be a builder, bridges, and buildings reaching high,

I wanted to be a analyst, wondering why people cry

I wanted to be a soldier, keeping my country from harm,

I wanted to be a human, helping my fellow man stay warm

Love it and a nice tribute to our military.. I want to be a person of kindness and hospitality .. I feel you are who you want to be and that who , we love..

I love the last line. It finishes this nicely. Fabulous thoughts in this. I liked this very much. The repetitive "I wanted to be" lends to this very well. Nice write!

[Desert Dreamer]

Your last line sums it all up wonderfully, and is my favorite line. I also sometimes want to be everything, I want to try out all possible paths in life.

Is this again lyrics, David? you did an awesome job on your couplets-poem and it says so much in meaning too, it tells me about your dreaming, who can dream like this - can't grow old.. That is so lovely. I'm sure your reviewers appreciate this. such an charismatic attitude in this...
