You Make Me Want To Be

(album: Dan Hill - 1975)

You make me want to be a father
Trade my wandering path of freedom for your soul
Oh, and all I once defied
And locked so deep inside
Is on a roller coaster riding out of control

You make me want to be a teacher
Teach that love is all there is and still there's more
Oh, and everywhere I turn
And everything I learn
Shows me there's something new I've never seen before

Words can only take a thought so far
And I've almost gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us as we grow
And we grow, and we grow

You make me want to be a writer
Write this world a crazy love song for today
Let me glide upon your smile
It beams for miles and miles
Catch it now before it sails away

Oh, and words can only take a thought so far
And I guess I've gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us as we grow
And we grow, and we grow

You make me want to be a father
Trade my wandering path of freedom for your soul
Oh, and all I once defied
And locked so deep inside
Is on a roller coaster riding out of control
A roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
A roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
