What you want to be
Verse
The question of the day is who I am.
Tell me if anyone knows.
I imagine I’m not the first to ask.
Who stole the emperor’s clothes?
Pre chorus
I asked the jester, asked the queen
Who is the one to blame?
I’ve a pocket full of pennies
I’ll give you for a name.
Chorus
They told me to keep my money.
The thing you seek is free.
You already know who you are.
You’re what you want to be.
Verse
I’ve pondered the who, the what, and the why.
I ask does anyone know.
I’ve meandered thru life, a boat afloat
Without any oars to row.
Pre chorus
I asked the jester, asked the queen
Who is the one to blame?
I’ve a pocket full of pennies
I’ll give you for a name.
Chorus
They told me to keep my money.
The thing you seek is free.
You already know who you are.
You’re what you want to be.
Bridge
I Looked in the mirror and asked myself.
What makes you a happy man?
The question is what do I want from life.
What makes me a happy man?
