If I could I would, fly across this world, through the sky and clouds, never looking down. I would swim with the breeze, and ride with the waves, not a care in the world, not a care I say. I could be free like a bird, sing with the angels, or sit with the graves, not saying a word. I could smile like the sun, and dance like a fire, but my "coulds" and "woulds" are "can'ts", for I am alive, and I cannot Retire.

I Cannot Retire
If I could I would, fly across this world, through the sky and clouds, never looking down. I would swim with the breeze, and ride with the waves, not a care in the world, not a care I say.
