My daugter asked me today what I want to be when I grow up
I thought and thought and laughed out loud
How can answering such a simple question be so tough
I thought and thought and looked up at the clouds

I wrote a note and read a book, what ever do I want to be when I'm fully cooked
I thought and thought and laughed out loud
Do I want to be a doctor, a nurse, a student, a writer of best selling book
I thought and thought and looked up beyond the clouds

I think I know, oh wait I am grown
I thought and laughed and chuckled to myself
My life is great as it is now, there's no need to change a thing or frown
I'm a mother, a wife, a daughter, sister and student,
A cook, and banker, farmer, stylist, driver, baker, all the above

I thought and I thought and looked at the clouds and laughed out loud

I am all grown up and I want to be exactly who I am, just me
