If I was a boy

I would build that castle again

Straight to the skies

To ride the winds

If I had a choice 

I would bury my head in the sand

Dressed up in ocean spray

Until I’m washed in gentle hands

Calloused I am 

If I owned a sail

I would tie it to the mast of a ship

Carve my family name

Like grandfathers did

If I lost touch with land

I would gather all that I had

The people I’ve loved

That’s all I am

Forfeit my plans

Follow me, back to our home 

Plant the seeds, reap the harvest we grow
