If I could be anyone I wanted to be

Doing whatever I wanted to do

If I could be anyone I wanted to be, Doing whatever I wanted to do, Living wherever I wanted to, Who, what and where would I be?

If I could be a mystical wanderer, Travelling through time and space, Visiting alien worlds in outer space, I would be like Doctor Strange in time, Battling monsters with chants and rhyme.

If I could be an explorer in the jungles, I would find lost cities and ancient treasures. I would decipher lost scripts and find lost tombs, Discover hidden caverns in dark catacombs.

If I could be like the Lord of the Apes, I would battle anacondas and crocodiles. I would live in the jungles dark and wild, A King of the Jungle and nature’s child.

If I could be a superpowered being, Possessing the wisdom and power limitless, I would make the world a much better place, Clean the planet of the pollution and clear the air, Save elephants, wildlife and remove poverty with care.

If I could be anyone I wanted to be, I would write powerful stories and rhyme, Every one making a positive change in time. If I could be anyone I ever wanted to be, I would definitely be the writer I am, I would definitely be the Storyteller, that is me.
