Anything But...

I wish I were anything but a dreamer.
Momma always said I could be anything if I put my mind to it.
I chose to keep my head in the clouds.

I wish I were anything but a dreamer.
I should've become a doctor, or a lawyer.
Or even a janitor who cleans the office of a lawyer of a doctor.

I wish I were anything but a dreamer.
I wanted to be different. I wanted the stars.
I wanted to hit grown men in the head with steel chairs, because that's what dreamers did.

I wish I were anything but a dreamer.
I wish I had never taken that writing class. Or won that award.
I wish I never had that moment of satisfaction as I changed my major.

I wish I were anything but a dreamer.
Because dreamers never win.
Dreamers never see.
Dreamers can only dream.

I should've been anything but a dreamer.
