What would I do if I could do anything I wanted to do?
Would I board a rocket-ship bound for the moon,
or just call in sick and sleep `til noon?
If I could change the way I look,
would I have a tail and hair of spun gold?
or don a slinky black dress and choose a shade of lipstick just a touch too bold?
What would have to occur for this to be my lucky day?
While I admit that thoughts of lottery winnings first fill my head;
Can I count myself fortunate enough that I made the left turn light just before it turned red?
If I could be anyone I wanted to be,
would I breathe life into the sleeping soul of Galileo?
Set off on a sailing ship in search of far away lands that I would beckon from the bow with a gruff "Land Ho."
If I were to confess to you that I would turn down the opportunity to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, opting instead for a leisurely bike ride along the beach - would you advise me to extend my goals a little farther from my reach?
Would you consider it a waste of an opportunity if I were to take the middle road - and the person that I chose to be,
looked an awful lot like me?
