The flower said "I wish I was a tree"
The tree said "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree"
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
And the flower
Would be it's offering
Of love
To the desert
And the desert
So dry and lonely
That the creatures all appreciate the effort
Et le jackalope a dit (And the jackalope said)
"Je voudrais etre un yeti (I wish I was a yeti)
Pour voler dans le nuit (to steal into the night)
Et m'en aller loin d'ici" (and then go far from here)
Mais le yeti a dit (But the yeti said)
"Je voudrais etre un monstre marin (I would like to be a sea monster)
Pour pouvoir rentre dans le mer (To dive into the sea)
De tous les requins" (Of all the sharks)
And the rattlesnake said "I wish I had hands
So I could hug you like a man"
And then the cactus said
"Don't you understand?
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives
A hug would be nice but hug my flower with your eyes"
The flower said "I wish I was a tree"
The tree said "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree"
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
And the flower
Would be it's offering
Of love
To the desert
And the desert
So dry and lonely
That the creatures all appreciate the effort
