lyrics

I tried to be a doctor, but was terrified by blood,
I tried to be an author, but the words just wouldn’t come,
I’m not a judge or vet, a nurse or chef,
Couldn’t cope with all the stress,

I tried to be a lawyer, but couldn’t turn the other cheek,
I tried to be a dancer, but I was born with two left feet,
My office desk, was such a mess,
Just like inside my head,

My brother is a chemist working in a sterile lab,
Tries to solve the hunger crisis with precision and with facts,
But as for me, please don’t take offence,
While I’ve got tunes and pencil lead,
There’s things I can’t leave unsaid,
I hope you understand,

I tried to be an actor, but I couldn’t play the part,
Every time I’m criticized I take everything to heart,
I tried to sculpt, but the clay was dry,
Cracks appeared all down each side,

My friend she is a teacher, working in a hostile school,
Tries to educate her students with her knowledge and her rules,
But I’m a bard, I’m a minstrel and I crave the open road,
Never knowing where I’m going,
With no home to call my own,
Playing show after show,
So many nights spent all alone,

I tried to be a painter, but all the colours turned to brown,
I tried to mix them equally so none felt left out,
In their case, each has their place,
Somewhere to belong.
