Just Like Me
As I look back upon my life
And what it might have been
And see how fast it all past by
It’s almost like a dream
It started with much promise
Though it had it’s share of bumps
And now I sit here reminiscing
With my bruises scars and lumps
I could have been a comic
But I wasn’t very funny
I could have been a playboy
But I never had the money
I could have been a rockstar
But I couldn’t sing a note
Might have been the president
But i never got a vote
Could have been a carpenter
But I never had the tools
Could have a banker
But I never liked those fools
Could have been a model
But i never had the looks
Could have been a teacher
But i never read those books
Could have been a moviestar
But i never learned to act
But what I am is all i am
And baby that’s a fact
The moral of the story
Is a simple as can be
Go and try be what you want
Or you’ll end up just like me
--
Most of us are afraid to fly
Because we fear we’ll fall
But better to try flying than
Continue to just crawl
So spread your wings
and take a chance
Because life can be quite brief
And maybe all it ever took
Was a little self belief
