In my backyard
I find myself
Sitting under the Willow tree
Wondering one day
What I might be
Where I might go
Who I might see
I close my eyes
Count to three
Take me where
I want to be...
As movie star I'll go far
I'll play the lead
And win the Oscar!
I'll skate the ice and win the gold
As an ice skater
I'll never get cold
I want to see the stars
I'll be an astronaut
The first on mars
I'll keep the puck from the goal
As a hockey player
Everyone will know
I'll be a singer in a band
Become famous
Travel all over the land
I'll paint the stars up in the sky
On a canvas
An artist am I
I'll strengthen the children of our nation
As a teacher
Making sure kids get their education
Design houses and buildings for everyone
I'm an architect
Now that would be fun
Fighting crime in cities and towns
A police officer I will be
The best one around
Making decisions to better our country
A president I'll be
Everyone will love me!
