I used to dream of another life
Where I could be someone else
I could be tall and be blonde and thin
And win
I could be good as someone else
Somebody else
Then I'd deserve
A place on this earth
Then I’d have worth
I used to crave me a better life
So far from myself
I’d be admired from far and wide
And satisfied
I’d be so good as someone else
Somebody else
Then I’d be free
Then I’d be me
A living breathing melody
I used to long for a better life
Another chance to get it right
I’d do good business and rake it in
And grin
Start again as someone else
Somebody else
Someone with gold
Could that make me whole?
But it cannot be
One life one chance
For the beautiful melody that is me
Now I don’t need any other life
I’ve learned to treasure this old skin
Got my own song and I can sing
Hear it echoing
Hear it echoing
I’m stumbling while I’m blossoming
Radiantly bumbling
Gloriously fumbling
Expectations are crumbling
It’s humbling
