If I had it all

I think to myself

If I had the power, the drive the wealth

I would be something and someone else

And I would be on top

I would keep dreaming and never stop

I would be great and never less than what I wanted to be

But then there's me

And I hear all these cries

And all these folks telling all of these lies

And I see all of these people when they gain

I see all of the smiles to hide whatever pain

And I think what's that about, why can't I succeed

Would I then become blinded by that greed

That monster, who lives in pride

I could afford a mask and some clothes and then I could hide

But then I think what happens when the mask fades

And those clothes are washed so much they turn gray

And the true me, who doesn't know how to behave

Comes to the surface

And I forget my true purpose

What If I drop the ball

How many would I cause to fall

If I had it all?
