I could have been a singer
but I sang another tune
I could have predicted fortunes
but I couldn’t read the runes
I could have been a painter,
but I brushed that thought aside
I could have been a racecar driver
but I got taken for a ride
I could have been a dancer
I got led into a merry dance
I could have been a soldier
I didn’t get a fighting chance
I’ve been spoiled for choices
but none saw the light of day
I kept dilly-dallying
and whiled my time away!
