What Could I Be?

Let me think on this a while;
Of things that I could be.
Maybe I could be doctor;
And heal the sick I see?

Maybe I could be a teacher;
And make the young ones think?
Or maybe I would tend a bar;
And serve you up a drink?

Maybe I could learn to type;
And be a secretary?
Or maybe learn about many books;
And work in a big library?

I could even be an astronaut;
And soar to a distant star.
And go in search of other life;
On planets from afar.

All these things I dream about;
Are just my wild fantasy.
There's only one thing I really want;
Just one thing I want to be.

I guess I'll just be what I am;
It doesn't matter what I do.
Cause the only thing I really value;
Is my "special" friendship with you!
