The Boatman |
| If I could choose the life I please |
| Then I would be a boatman |
| On the canals and the rivers free |
| No hasty words are spoken |
| My only law is the river breeze |
| That takes me to the open seas |
| If I could choose the life I please |
| Then, I would be a boatman |
| If I could choose the life I please |
| Then I would be a rower |
| And if the road was not for me |
| Then, I would choose another |
| Cross mountains and the valleys deep |
| Where I would take these weary feet |
| If I could choose the life I please |
| Then, I would be a rower |
| But these things they’re so hard for me |
| I cannot choose my own destiny |
| And all the things that I want to see |
| Are so unclean |
| Well, I wish I could choose the life I please |
| But I am not a free man |
| Others rule my destiny |
| But my will’s never broken |
| I know someday, I will be |
| Everything that I dreamed, I’d be |
| And when I live the life I please |
| Then, I will be a freeman |
| I know someday, I will be |
| Everything that I dreamed, I’d be |
| And when I live the life I please |
| Then, I will be a freeman |
| And when I live the life I please |
| Then, I will be a freeman |
