A Video Poem For Your Inner Child: 'When I Grow Up' (VIDEO)

WATCH: A Video Poem For Your Inner Child

As children, most of us want to be astronauts or presidents or ballerinas. Then, over time, we stop thinking about what we want to be and become what we "should be."

But this awesome video poem is all about being what you want to be, even if you're a 50-year-old father of two.

Ted Saunders, the man behind the incredible Burning Man video, 'Oh, The Places You'll Go,' is back with another equally amazing work of art: 'When I Grow Up.' Featuring people attending the Lightning In A Bottle Festival 2012, it starts with kids reading a poem titled "When I Grow Up" and moves on to a bunch of wonderful, wacky adults. It's "a short film about growing up, living your dreams and always remaining a child."
