Time Traveler Who Would You Choose To Be If You Could?
Have you ever sat or laid down
Deep in thoughts that float
Into your mind and your imagination
Creates a movie
What if those thoughts made you think
About your ancestors and what kind of life they had
Putting yourself in the picture and feet in their shoes?
The time traveller's travels turn back the hands of time
Toward the past into a made-up imagined
Otherworld steeped in history
That you may have read in books on TV
Or learned at school
It may be a period that you may like somewhere in, time
Like a child, your imagination runs wild
You could be anyone you decide to choose
A cowboy or girl riding through the plains out West
A captain of a ship carrying a treasure chest
Sailing to places waiting to be discovered yet unknown
You may be a Lady in a Royal Court of the throne
A knight Back in the days of old
An explorer in the artic where it's so cold
A humble peasant or a Yoman farming the land
Maybe an old movie star you admire on the silver screen
Or even a King or Queen
A jester and a fool
Or a rock star that's cool
The fifth Beatle with a song
A talented musician of note who never plays a note wrong
A stewardess on a plane
Or the driver of the Flying Scotsman steam train
Who would you not want to be?
A solider at Roukes drift
Anne Boleyn
A Gladiator
Lord Nelson
Al Capone
Ted Bundy
Billy the kid
General Custer
A prisoner in the war
A soldier in the trenches of World War One
The Sheriff of Nottingham
Shakerzulu
Humpty Dumpty
Vladamier the impala
Nero
Ava Bruan
Jim Morrison
Jona
Who would like to have been would you change who you are
And a person you imagine being back in time if you could
And swap your life?. Who would have you wanted to be?.
