I wasn't born into a dynasty with a hundred cars in a garage each
and an aeroplane that can fly me round the world
I had to settle for a family in a one bed flat with an old settee
and a kettle that could whistle to the birds

and if I had my way I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I'd still stand there and wait to share the kitchen sink
then say tarra I'm going out to play

I wasn't born into a dynasty with a heliport and a limousine
and a grand parade to announce that I'd arrived
I had to settle for a family with a barking dog and a parakeet
and a guinea pig that was trying to survive

and if I had my way I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I'd still stand there and wait to share the kitchen sink
then say tarra I'm going out to play

you will never know if you ate your food with a silver spoon
and you can never have the bond that we had with the folks in the Neighborhood

I wasn't born into a dynasty with a second home on a private beach
and a motorboat I could take out for a ride
I had to settle for a family we had an old saloon with a missing wheel
it spent seven years just stranded on the drive

each and every day holds a memory
a memory they can never take away
and the feelings left inside money couldn't buy
we had a one bed flat with a loving family

so if I had my way I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I'd still stand there and wait to share the kitchen sink
then say tarra I'm going out to play

There my memories and I wouldn't change a thing

Listening friend

By LaDena Laine

We usually have one person we call to talk to when we are feeling sad. Sometimes that person needs to know that we are there for them if they find themselves with a need to share their feelings and be open to it.
