If I Could

If I could turn back the hands of time
What kind of man would I be
A carpenter, a painter
A lawyer, a doctor
A Nobel laureate

A sophisticated man
A working man
A man about town

A writer, a poet
A simple man
Without a plan

A man you care not to know
An honest man
A man full of woes
One who is rolling in the dough

Would I be married
Or single
Or just an average Joe

Life is often complex
If you dare to go it alone
It can be simple
If you're one in the know

Would I be remembered
For my place in time
Or just another has been
Out of time

For me to know
Is not God's plan
For now I'll just be happy
Being who I am
