What would have liked to be and in what time in history 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?.
