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 its offering

Of love to the desert

And the desert

So dry and lonely

That the creatures all

Appreciate the effort

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 its offering

Of love to the desert

And the desert

So dry and lonely

That the creatures all

Appreciate the effort
