What am I to be
What’s in my life for me
What can I do that no man has done
How clear will these eyes see

1939530_10152009949802844_821707403_nWill I be a gentle man
Will I write my songs
Will I make a better place
And will you be along

Where am I to go
What feelings will I know
Will I embrace the gifts I have
What will I leave to show

Will I gamble with my dreams
Will I draw a winning hand
Will I keep the child in me
And still become a man

What am I to be
What’s in my life for me
What can I do that no man has done
How clear will my eyes see
When you look inside me
What changes do you see
What am I to be
