When I get into bed at night
I snuggle in warm and tight
I close my eyes and drift away
And dream of what I could be someday
What if dreams really do come true?
And I could be whatever I wanted to
I could be a surgeon and perform an operation
Or I could be a medical doctor and give an examination
I could be a dentist and fix teeth like new
Or I could be a nurse and take care of you
I could be a lawyer and handle a case or two
Or I could be a judge and decide what to do
I could be a police officer and arrest those for doing wrong
Or I could be a private detective on a stake out all night long
I could be a secretary and organize the day
Or I could be a travel agent and plan a trip far away
I could be a teacher and make learning fun
Or I could be a principal and be in charge of everyone
I could be a reporter and get the story right
Or I could be a news anchor on TV every night
I could be an actress that everyone would know
Or I could be a singer and be on the radio
I could be an artist and draw a cartoon
Or I could be a musician and play a tune
I could be a dancer and perform in a ballet
Or I could be a director and direct a play
I could be a designer and decorate with flair
Or I could be a beautician and style hair
I could be a chef in a fancy restaurant
Or I could be a server and bring you what you want
When I wake up I stretch my arms over my head
I start to go over all the dreams that I had in bed
I think about my dreams one by one
Especially the ones that were so much fun
Then I pick the one that feels the best to me
That is how I decide what I could be
