Why couldn’t I be something
Something other than me
Why couldn’t I be
A fish under the sea
Anything but me
Why couldn’t I be that pestering Rat
That runs in fear daily chased by a cat
Why couldn’t I be something
Something other than me
Why couldn’t I be in the blue skies
Like that blue Jay with wings that can fly
Why couldn’t I be something
Something other than me
Why couldn’t I be so beautiful Like I see
Of the imagine in the mirror looking back at me
Anything other than me.
