"What do you want to do when you grow up?"
The teacher had asked me
Well, I would like to sing for people
So that their hearts are a little less sad
I would like to find myself in 30 years
On a stage facing my audience
To share love and all my sorrows
I was far from being the brightest
I didn't often get ten out of ten
My math teacher, Mr.
Wind-tuft claims that I am just a slacker
That with life, with time
I would surely end up on welfare
I close my eyes
I imagine myself with you on stage
I made promises to myself
That the heart remembers
When I aim for the top
I look further
I want to follow my star
The one that my moons reveal to me
To give life
To my childhood dreams
My career counselor
Wants to guide me into construction
And when I talk to her about my songs
She kindly tells me to stop
There are no job opportunities
Anyway, she says in a discouraging tone
You'd better keep both feet on the ground
And when I come home
I hear my parents arguing
What are we going to do with this boy?
Leave him alone, he's just a child
No one to pay attention
To what I really aspire to
I have built a mindset that no doubt slows down
I made promises to myself
That the heart remembers
When I aim for the top
I look further
I want to follow my star
The one that my moons reveal to me
To give life
To my childhood dreams
As time goes by
And more people tell me that
I don't belong
Or that I'm not like them
That I have to do as written in the books
But stubborn as I am, I only do what I want.
