I can't grow up

They've been asking me my whole life what I want to be when I grow up
After 20 years, I still have no clue,
But I know what I want to be like, and who,

I wanna be brave like Louis and Clark,
Convicted like Rosa Parks,
Have a vision and a dream like Dr. King,

I want to give like Mother Theresa,
be known for smiles like Mona Lisa,
Be fiercely in love like Shakespeare

I don't know what kind of job I want
or where I want to be in five years,
But I know living small is one of my greatest fears.
