SONG LYRICS: I COULD HAVE BEEN
I Could Have Been
I could have been on the big screen Had all of that fame Been worshipped by the people Been a household name Could’ve headed this nation Controlled this whole land Lived for that power Been the world’s greatest man But I chose the High Road Left illusion behind Cast my fate to creation I surrendered to time I made my choices Took that great leap of faith Jumped into the fire Let it sweep me away I made my choices I did it all just because I believe there’s an answer I did it for Love Could’ve had all the lovers Kept them all on a string Told them all that I love you And have it not mean a thing Could’ve sat in some big chair Had all that money could buy Been the envy of millions While I waited to die But I chose the high road To live what I Am To follow this wisdom That’s been placed in my hand I made my choices Took that great leap of faith Jumped into the fire Let it sweep me away I made my choices I did it all just because I believe there’s an answer I did it for Love Sometimes I long for the old world Even reach out my hand But I have seen the illusions Left holding nothing but sand © 1988.
