I Used To Be A King

I used to be a king he said
I ruled the world so well
loving all my subjects
and making sure there well

I used to be a fireman
and a hero some would say
saving all the people
each and every day

I used to be a spaceman
and would visit every day
all those brightly coloured places
I use to pass along the way

I used to be a cowboy
And would ride across the plain
catching all the bad guys
and put them away

Tonight I have not decided
exactly what to be
so I’ll just go to sleep now
and see what I can be

Add a short bio!

if only life was not so short
Maybe then there would be time
to do all the that i could write down here
like travel the world and photograph it all
But hay hoy theres allways tomorrow.
