With a pencil in my hand, I can do anything
I can be anywhere, anyone, or anything
With a pencil in my hand, I can fly high in the clouds,
Or dive in the deepest depths of the ocean
With a pencil in my hand, I could live in a wolf’s den
Or an eagle’s nest
I could swing through the jungle on a vine,
Or slide down a glacier on my stomach
With a pencil in my hand, I could
Become the 1st woman president or
Invent something someone never thought of
With a pencil in my hand, I could
Create the future or change the past
But, I wouldn’t
That would spoil the surprise
With a pencil in my hand, I can write
Anytime, anywhere
I can make my wishes come true
