If I Could …
Sometimes I wish I could control time , so I could live in this moment forever . But I can ’ t , so I won ’ t .
Sometimes I wish I could fly , so I could get away from here . But I can ’ t , so I won ’ t .
Sometimes I wish I could be invisible , so I could be free to do whatever . But I can ’ t , so I won ’ t .
Sometimes I wish I could morph into other people , so I could walk a day in another ’ s shoes . But I can ’ t , so I won ’ t .
Sometimes I wish I could read minds , so I could hear what others think about me . But I can ’ t , so I won ’ t .
Sometimes I wish I could just be me , and not hold myself up to such unattainable ideals . But I can do that , so I will .
