Lyrics

i wish i were a flock of seagulls so i could dive and glide and be never egotistical i'd approach everybody in the same way and i would never ever be in anyone's way i wish that i'd been a rocky wall unmovable and strong and never unpredictable strong i would be and never be swept down and i could hold all the bridges existing for now i wish i were born a tree so my spirit could roam and go far and free i'd watch over everything i could see and feel all the sun's light nurture me i wish that i had been born a shell be a hermit crab's home at the bottom of a well and then no one would move or bother me and i would just sit and i could rest with all the others also living in it i wish that i could be the end of the night and i could hold all the stars in each hand of the sky and then no one would try to talk to me or change my mind and they could curse me all they wanted they could try and try i wish i'd been born a tree so that no one would care too much to look at me i wouldn't have to move or go anywhere and no one would pay too much attention they wouldn't care
