IF I COULD BE
IF I COULD BE
(T. Beechey)
If I could be anyone but me,I'd be a bird very high in a tree
Having no cares and flying along,safe in my nest and singing my song
With a voice both soft and strong,everything's right and nothing's wrong
As one with the world in harmony...yes,I'd be a bird very high in a tree
If I could be anyone but me,I'd be a sailor upon the sea
Riding proud upon the waves,going as each current behaves
Over the tops of mariners' graves,in and out of unchartered caves
As the waters stretch endlessly...yes,I'd be a sailor upon the sea
If I could be anyone but me,I'd be a star,quite distant and wee
Yet shining upon the entire earth,proving at last that I have worth
Giving a purpose for my birth,not merely for others' senseless mirth
In the vastness of space's sanctuary...yes,I'd be a star,quite distant and wee
If I could be anyone but me,I'd be the wind,wild and free
And,with every twirl and twist,I'd rise into all that does exist
Swirling sometimes in a great mist,then so gentle as a baby kissed
Above and beyond humanity...yes,I'd be the wind,wild and free
