Kato’Ki

When I was a kid

i wanted to become a pirate

sail to far away lands

find treasure troves

and fight the sea dragons

when i was a kid

i wanted to become a knight

Flash huge swords and win wars

kill the bad kings

and save people from monsters

when i was a kid

i wanted to become a detective

solve cases like nancy drew

help the police

and earn a badge

when i was a kid

i wanted to become a teacher

who would understand kids just like me

who would listen to us

and help us understand our dreams

when i was a kid

i wanted to grow up

do a lot of things

yet not change a bit

and that i did

and became a story teller

tell me one thing that is not possible

and i will weave you a story

of how it can be done

that is the beauty

when the kid inside

never says good bye

for the kid inside

every thing is magical

everybody is somebody

every dream is important

and nothing is impossible

if only you would believe

so if you are like me

   who belives in magic and dreams

come let’s weave stories together

  and give others new dreams

   if you are not like me but do like me

  let’s share and see how far our dreams go

and if you are not like me and do not like me

oh boy the things i have for you

in my bag

you would not believe
