Listen to the mustn'ts, child
Listen to the don'ts
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me....
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

I'd rather be a could-be, if I cannot be an are
Because a could-be is a maybe that is reaching for a star
I'd rather be a has-been, than a might-have-been by far
Because a might-have-been has never been, but a has was once an are
