Why Can't That Be Me?


Why can't that be me with the looks and the charm? Friends in vast places Skills and a swift mind Creativity, athleticism, and all Why can't that be me with the full ride scholarship? Life planned out Money isn't a problem No need to stress, no need for aid Why can't that be me going on vacation? Traveling the world, my dream come true Experiencing cultures Eating new foods, relaxing Why can't that be me with the material items? Brand new car New phone New clothes Why can't that be me with the job? My own money to spend Keeping myself occupied Waking up with a purpose Why can't that be me? Why can't that be? Why can't? Why? It's wiser to let the success of people motivate you to do better Instead of envying them Don't you agree?
