[Verse]

Well I wonder where to begin
Thomas Richard Finn
So much to say in a song
And I don't want to say a word wrong

But whenever I enjoy your fine company
I think of all the things you might turn out to be
Now me and you know this future is never set

[Chorus]

Like teacher, preacher, interpreter
Fireman, fisherman, entrepaneur
Peacekeeper, statistician, a star of the stage
Beekeeper, politician or a travelling sage

Fashion guru, mountaineer, trapese artist
Doctor, nurse, engineer or a silversmith
Construction could be your vocation
Dancing may be your occupation

Oh whatever you become you will always be
The sweetest little one I ever did see

And whatever you do you will always remind me
Just how beautiful and happy life can be
And even if you don't succeed like no other

[Verse]

Well now professions are important but they only go so far
Remember what you do and where you work is not who you are
So whenever I enjoy your young company
I think about the person you'll grow up to be

Now me and you know this future is never set
