Wonder what it'd be like?

I've always wanted to fly like an eagle,
To sore in the Heavens, the whole world to see.
Go where I've chosen, with no one to stop me,
The wind and the rain, what a challenge it'd be.

I've always wanted to know what it'd feel like,
To venture the ocean, now wouldn't that be grand,
To have my own ship, in the waves of the water,
The wind and the sails, and my Lord's guiding hand.

But to live in a castle, is another  I've dreamed of.
To live in the old times, and be Robinhood's dream,
He'd save me from evils, darktimes, and the wicked.
But the happy everafter's probably not what they seemed.

Now back in the saddle, they seemed like the good times,
everything simple, your family, your land.
To work it and harvest the things that you needed.
When the woman were woman and men were the men.

The world was not evil,  just horse thieves, and robbers.
And the simple life ways, we can't don't understand.
They didn't have to worry, cause God was their Master,.
in this day and time, He's left out of the plan.

It'd be nice to have money, and all that I wanted,
I wouldn't have to work, I'd do as I pleased.
I'd help out all poor folks, that this world has.. put out
the smiles on there faces, what  a blessing that'd be.

I'd love to be an Angel, and live up in Heaven,
And be with my savior, for eternity,
And have all my loved ones, there'd be no more burdens.
But this is not  fantasy, it's been promised to me.
