lyrics

If I didn't want to be me
who would I want to be?
If I could just be someone else for a day
then I’d guess I'd have to say

I’d be a hunter, or a Time Lord
or a cannibal who’s got some class
I could be a Slayer or an Angel
who’s got an awful lot of sass

I could be a detective or his doctor
or a Disney princess
I could be a hobbit or a dragon
or a dwarf with a hairy chest

I could be a wizard or a horcrux
or a Starfleet officer
I could be a demon or a Vulcan
I could even be Lucifer

I could be an announcer or a scientist
or an anime character
I could be a companion or a Dalek
or a handsome detective inspector

If I didn't want to be me
There are so many people I’d be
Way too many to fit in a song
because otherwise it would be way too long

about

Jenny Silsby Lansing Charter Township, Michigan

Singing is one of my biggest passions. I wouldn't be able to get through a day if I wasn't allowed to sing. It's a part of who I am, and who I am meant to be.
