I could've been a doctor were it not for a degree

I could've been a winner were it not for defeat

I could've been richer were it not for the taxes

I could've been a scholar were it not for classes

I could've been a rebel were it not for a cause

I could've been employed were it not for the boss

I could've been loved

We could've been artists were it not for the muses

We could've been on time were it not for excuses

We could've been diamonds were it not for the penny

We could've been special were it not for the many

We could've been patient were it not for the waiting

We could've been committed were it not for the staying

We could've been loved

I still love your views look up your interviews

Got me playing detective searching for some clues

I wanted to take you home show you where I've grown

Coffee down in Kenya then a swim in Cameroon

But you're in California working on your script

Young and beautiful just trying to make the most of it

You could've been loved

Hilila wa la halle qabiilkii waa la daayay

Dagaal la daa rafaad la daa

Jaceeylkiiyaa waa la raayayAnnotate

Hilila wa la halle qabiilkii waa la daayay

Dagaal la daa rafaad la daa

Jaceeylkiiyaa waa la raayay

Hilila wa la halle qabiilkii waa la daayay

Dagaal la daa rafaad la daa

Jaceeylkiiyaa waa la raayay

Hilila wa la halle qabiilkii waa la daayay

Dagaal la daa rafaad la daa

Jaceeylkiiyaa waa la raayay

You could've been loved

I could've been free were not for the past

I could've been first place were in not for the last
