WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE

Take a look in the mirror, tell me what you see...

I've stumbled along, for a lifetime or two
Listening to someone like You
You told me I
Shouldn't try so hard
I should only try
To follow my Heart

I didn't have a clue (then)
What to do
When you talked about my heart
I thought you were a joke
An old incompetent
Nin-com-poop
An idiot with a degree
Just without a clue

Now, about 150 years have gone by
I sit by the side of the road and I sigh
I wonder about all the friends I've had
I used to have so many
I couldn't keep track
Now, about a year or two (since I had any friends)
I sit and I wonder and I sigh again
Well, those friends
Were not my friends
If they would turn on me again

Well, good Doctor, what do you say
I'd like to get out of here while there's still light of day
I've cancelled three appointments, two weddings and a funeral
So that I could be here in time to sit with You

My dear old Patient, don't you cry
Pappa gonna sing you a lulla-by
And when that lulla-by don't work
Pappa gonna tell you a nice big joke
And when that big fat joke don't work
Pappa gonna buy you a big piece of rope
Take that piece of rope and fly
Fly, fly, into the sky
