What it's like to be you all day

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

to see the things you see,

to hear the things you say. 

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

to have no responsibilities,

no bills to pay. 

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

to stay up all night

sometimes for days.

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

no place to be, no schedule to keep,

nothing to do but play.

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

to have no place to call home,

never knowing where you'll stay.

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

no bed of your own,

no pillow where your head can lay.

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

you don't work or have a job,

so you sleep the time away.

I wonder what it's like to be you all day

to not have any friends, no one to call and just say hey.

I wonder what it's like to be you all day,

I hope I'll never know,

the price too high to pay.

I'll tell you what I know,

I've tried helping you in so many ways,

but you take advantage of my kindness,

and then you run away.

I can't make you do anything,

I can only show you the way,

you probably won't listen,

but then again you may.

So I do what I can, but mostly I pray

and tell you that I love you,

there's not much more I can say....
