If I Had My Way

If I had my way

If I had my way
I'd wouldn't wear a watch
I'd go barefoot in a garden 
Plant seeds that stir up change 
I'd crawl into a damp cave
I'd lose my purse
I'd climb a tree
Roll down a grassy hill
Go topless without a thrill
I throw out my hair dryer

If I had my way

I'd make sand angels on a dune 
I'd sleep until noon
I'd swim naked in a pool
I'd grow my hair
I'd have a cat, a rat, a rabbit and a turtle 
I wouldn't wear a bra
I'd unplug my commuter
I'd walk without a phone
I'd sing with my children

I'd love deeper, if I had my way
