I Wanted To Be
I wanted to be, so much larger than I am.I wanted to skim the skies.
I wanted to reach beyond the life that was,
Regardless of the whys.
I wanted to help, and not to hurt.
To build and not destroy.
To teach my kids that love is real
And there's a place for joy.
I wanted to be, God I wanted to be,
A man above all men.
But I fell so short, so very short,
After trying again and again.
Yet all these things I wanted to be,
I just might have a shot.
If I just start dealing with who I am,
Instead of who I'm not.
