Starting Over

I want to start all over

I want to start anew

if I could start right now

this is what I would do.

I would change my name to Shannon

and maybe grow my hair,

I would gain a lot of confidence,

and have no history there.

My life would be exciting,

my future bright and warm,

the possibilities are endless,

my control with shape and form.

I would start with lots of wisdom

my choices slow to use

and everyone would respect me

yeah, that's what they would do.

I would like to be different,

an icon for all time,

someone they would remember,

saying she's a friend of mine.

I would start each day smiling,

open my curtains with a twirl,

singing praise and glory,

saying "good morning to you world."

Yeah, if I could start all over,

I would not be the same,

if I could start right now,

I would start with my name.
