If I were you

It's always easier to tell others

If I were you.
The things I'd do.
I'd change the world.
I'd cure disease.
I'd save the bees,
and the trees.
And the whales.
Every boat would run on sails.

I'd tell the story of the world.
I'd tell tall tails,
Straight from the bottle.

If I were you,
or someone else.
I'd find the fountain,
of eternal health.
And of eternal wealth.

The only problem,
I'm not you.
So what am I,
myself to do?
