This song was created during a Monty Harper songwriting residency at Skyline Elementary School in Stillwater, Oklahoma, May 2015.

lyrics

I could be a vet, I could fly a jet
I could be a doctor, I could fly a helicopter
I could be a teacher, I could be a preacher
I could be a dancer, I could cure cancer
I don't know what I'm gonna be about
But I have time to figure it out

What will I be?
It's up to me
How will I know
Which way to go?
Don’t want to lose. Tell me how to choose.
What will I be?
What will I be?

I could push a mop, I could be a cop
I could be a miner, I could be a fashion designer
I could be a drummer, I could be a plumber
I could be a pioneer, I could be an engineer
I don't know what I'm gonna be about
But I have time to figure it out

What will I be?
It's up to me
How will I know
Which way to go?
Don’t want to lose. Tell me how to choose.
What will I be?
What will I be?
