You Can Be Anything
You can be anything, but you must try,
So never give up, REACH for the sky.
You can be a sailor or a pirate at sea,
And catch all the fish in the ocean for tea.
You can be an astronaut and shoot into space,
Or a pilot and take people from place to place.
You can be a cleaner making everything shine,
Or work on a vineyard and make lots of wine.
See you can be anything, but you must try,
So never give up, REACH for the sky.
You can be a doctor and look after the sick,
Or a builder building houses, brick after brick.
You can be a dentist and fix a cracked tooth,
Or look after horses, mending sore hoofs.
You can be a singer singing songs to a crowd,
Have everyone screaming your name out aloud.
See you can be anything, but you must try,
So never give up, REACH for the sky.
You can be an actor and dress up all day,
Pretend to be different, whoever you may.
You can be a hairdresser and cut peoples hair,
Cut all sorts of shapes, whatever you dare!
You can be a plasterer and smooth wonky walls,
On ceilings in bedrooms in toilets and halls.
See you can be anything, but you must try,
So never give up, REACH for the sky.
You can be a fireman, and save some ones life,
Putting great big fires out, morning till night
You could be a policeman patrolling the roads,
Keeping the world safe from the bad boys and girls,
You could be a scientist making potions and pills,
Finding new medicines that help mend the ill.
See it really doesn’t matter whatever you choose,
As long as you’re happy you never will lose,
But don’t look at me to decide what you do,
The only one making that choice will be…
YOU!
