| When I was little
|
| I wanted to be king
|
| I built castles in the air
|
| But never found my way in
|
| For a week I was Rambo
|
| But couldn’t take the pace
|
| Then I thought I’d be a rocket man
|
| But never made it into space
|
| All my life I tried so many things I couldn’t do but I
|
| Can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again for you
|
| I worked to be a wizard
|
| I tried it for a year
|
| I had five white rabbits but
|
| Not one would disappear
|
| Dreamed of being a fireman
|
| But that went up in flames
|
| Said, «Okay, I’ll be a cowboy!»
|
| But it turned out I’m no Jesse James
|
| All my life I tried so many things I couldn’t do but I
|
| Can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again for you
|
| I played guitar in a band
|
| And finally got laid
|
| Then we fell apart
|
| As soon as bills needed to be paid
|
| Got a job in a restaurant
|
| Where I burned every dish
|
| Was a sidewalk Santa Claus
|
| But I couldn’t grant one single wish
|
| I set off to see the world
|
| It finally felt right
|
| But I got lost the second day
|
| So I went home the following night
|
| All my life I tried too many things I couldn’t do but I
|
| Can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again
|
| Oh, I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again
|
| Again, and again, and again, and again for you |
