WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE

What will you be when you grow up
I was often asked as a young child
I said, " I want to be a cowboy
And tame the west that's really wild"

I got a few years older and again
I was asked what I wanted to be
I said, " I'd like to be a sailor
And sail each and every sea"

Then in my teens they asked again
I Said, " I really didn't know
So I 'll get an education and
See which way I want to go"

Years later I became successful and recalled
Always being asked what I wanted to be
The answer was actually very simple
All that I really wanted to be was me
