David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

Song#: 9

Album
Name of Song: Who shall I be this time?

Wondering, always wondering, when I grow up,
But I never seem to end up like my dream,
Feelings of betrayal within my own self,
Thoughts of where the hell I’ve really been.

Facing life we start by making pictures,
Created by ourselves to further time,
Getting used to making them reality,
This is life: it’s all about the climb.

Chorus
Who shall I inhabit in this lifetime,
To guarantee I win instead of lose,
Maybe this is wrong, becoming someone,
Time to make myself the one to choose.
______

So who shall I become like while I’m living,
Who do I really wanna be,
There are negatives to becoming other people,
Devastating burdens hard to see.

Ignore yourself and you’re no longer living,
That greatness that you are goes right to sleep,
It’s hard to live another’s life inside you,
It’s hard to be yourself when you’re a sheep.

Chorus
Who shall I inhabit in this lifetime,
To guarantee I win instead of lose,
Maybe this is wrong, becoming someone,
Time to make myself the one to choose.

______

So this business of what you’ll be in your own future,
Doesn’t matter how old your body is right now,
The mantra is: I’m a spirit in a body,
Remind yourself each day to keep that vow.

Chorus
Who shall I inhabit in this lifetime,
To guarantee I win instead of lose,
Maybe this is wrong, becoming someone,
Time to make myself the one to choose.
