“Could I Have Been, Lin-Manuel Miranda?”
"Could I Have Been, Lin-Manuel Miranda?", to the tune of "Dancing Nancies", by the Dave Matthews Band, this song and phrasing came into my head the other day one morning ... so curious ...

Chasing Hallows
Chasing the hallows, saintly, simply people, that’s my jam, certain I’ll be better if I just can, Can leap the tall buildings, and sing from the rooftops, and shine and know and be certain of all things, Hallowed as they are, still sharing lessons, valuable insights, inspirations, how they lived, choices they made, some mistakes …
