I Wish I Could...



I wish I could...
 Be a star to shine
 Faraway in the sky
 And from there see everyone
 Talking about my beauty
 I wish I could...
 Be a fantasy creature
 not real
 I wish I would have never existed...
 And remain in everyone's imaginations
 I wish I could...
 Be a bird to fly
 when ever Where ever
I wanted to
I wish I could be a leaf...
 In the faraway forest
 So that no one could see or touch me
 I wish I could...
 Be a tree on the river bank
 So that I could touch
Waves of flowing water

I wish I could...
