The song “What I Might Be” was written by Paul Krause for the Laura Baker Services Association choir in 2010 around the time of our capital campaign.
Recently the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Northfield Choir and some of the children joined together to sing this song which was video recorded with a dedication to clients and staff of LBSA.
What I Might Be
When I’m alone and in my room,
I sit and dream
Of all the things I’d like to be.
Teacher, astronaut, a dancer in the dark
A chance to see what I might be.
Every time you show
Someone how to grow
Help them come to know
Their life’s a miracle, then they will
Have the hope to say
Dreams come true some day
They will find a way
I feel it happening, so I sing….
Of all the things I’d like to be outside this room
Of races run, of mountains climbed
You give me hope to be the person I can be
You open doors that free my mind
Every time you show
Someone how to grow
Help them come to know
Their life’s a miracle, then they will
Have the hope to say
Dreams come true some day
They will find a way
I feel it happening, so I sing….
And when at last I find my way into the world
I’ll think of you and what you said
You opened me and showed me all the things inside
You gave your love and set me free.
Every time you show
Someone how to grow
Help them come to know
Their life’s a miracle, then they will
Have the hope to say
Dreams come true some day
They will find a way
I feel it happening, so I sing….
