Whata' I want ta' Be when I Grow Up? Whata' I want ta' Do with my Life when I Show Up? a butcher, a baker, a candelstick maker? a Giver? a Taker? no more a Faker. no longer a Foresaker. When I'm all Grown will what I've Known Be Shown? or will I be just meat & bone? Will I have Learned? Will I have Earned my Years, my Tears, my Dears? or will I just have my Fears? When I Grow Up, When I Show Up, What I want ta' Be is Me.

Steve... this is good. Its a hard thing to accept that we are what we are....I guess that's why there are so many fakes and flakes in the word.. because they cant accept who they really are.. sad huh?
