I could have been an artist for the people

I could have been an artist for the crowd,
But I prefer a humble path, not loud.
I’ll sing for you in any season’s glow,
Play so swift – the wind can’t keep up, you know.

And if one day, a perfect morning bright,
They offer me the stage, the spotlight’s light,
I’d feel a touch of sadness, deep inside –
My moment matters little to the scene, I’d sigh.
