If I could choose the life I please
|
Then I would be a boatman
|
On the canals and the rivers free
|
No hasty words are spoken
|
My only law is the river breeze
|
That takes me to the open seas
|
If I could choose the life I please
|
Then I would be a boatman
|
|
If I could choose the life I please
|
Then I would be a rover
|
And if the road was not for me
|
Then I MIGHT choose another
|
Cross mountains and the valleys deep
|
Where I WILL take these weary feet
|
If I could choose the life I please
|
Then I would be a rover
|
|
But these things they're so hard for me
|
I cannot choose my own destiny
|
And all the things that I want to see
|
Are so unclean
|
|
Well I wish I could choose the life I please
|
But I am not a free man
|
Others rule my destiny
|
But my will's never broken
|
I know someday I will be
|
Everything that I dreamed I'd be
|
And when I live the life I please
|
Then I will be a freeman.
|
|
I know someday I will be
|
Everything that I dreamed I'd be
|
And when I live the life I please
|
Then I will be a freeman.
|
|
And when I live the life I please
|
Then I will be a freeman.
