Maybe I'll live to be ninety five
Maybe I'll die next year
Maybe I don't know how to be alive
Maybe death isn't something to fear

Maybe I'll find the thing that gives my life meaning
Maybe I never will
Maybe one day I'll stop dreaming
Because all that I dreamt of is real
Maybe one day I'll be popular with the ladies
Maybe I'll be popular to one
Maybe I'll marry and have babies
Maybe one girl and maybe one son

Maybe I'll get wealthy and buy my mom a home
Maybe she won't have to worry about bills
Maybe someday I can send her to Rome
Maybe she'll finally be a housewife of Beverly Hills :p
Maybe she'll find love
The kind she **** well deserves
Maybe that guy will come from above
And father my siblings (who sometimes get on my nerves)
Maybe I'll build my dad an empire
Because my God he rules
He's been there for me when it came down to the wire
He always gives me the right tools
Maybe one day Cancer will just be a sign
And my Nana will win once and for all
For what she's fighting is far from benign
And for decades more she can enjoy my phone calls

Maybe I'll repay all that I owe
Because I know I finally can
Maybe I'll quit my job and go
Because I don't like being a pizza-man
Maybe I'll make money doing what I like
Helping people enjoy their life
Anything from teaching a kid to ride a bike
To someday ending the world's strife

Maybe these words mean nothing
And maybe IS just a word
But I'm making it big, not even bluffing
Maybe I'm just being absurd
Is it selfish for me to want for the sake of others?
(Maybe it is, hopefully it's not)
To take what I have and give it to another?
I don't believe this selfishness will make me rot

Maybe I doubt myself too much
Perhaps it's just a phase
I might not have the magic touch
But I'll try for the rest of my days

Maybe it'll all happen
Maybe it won't
