I'd Like to be a Dragon
I’d like to be a dragon,
Breathe fire from deep inside
Or maybe a crazy super hero
Who would never run or hide
Or even be a shining knight
With the princess by my side
All of these things could change the world
In daring, spectacular ways
My name would go down in history books
For an infinite number of days
But would I really be fully fulfilled
If my name, alone, itself pays?
Does a truly rewarding occupation
Come only from building fame?
And happiness in a job I love
Come only in famous name?
If I did something much less flashy
Would I change things just the same?
I think I do want to change the world
And make it a better place
Focusing not on menial things
Like money, or whatever the case
I still want to do something daring
But not to simply save some face
But, instead, to go out and help people
No matter how many or few
And change the world in smaller ways
By investing in people like you.
