If I could be anything
On this planet earth
I wouldn’t be a human
I’d be something free.
I wouldn’t be a human
No matter what you say
When the sky is so enticing and
My mind so trapped here now
I might choose to be a bird
And fly away from here
Or an insect with a view
Limited to me.
If I could be anything
I wouldn’t be a human
I’d let myself see
The world from the oceans
So blue and so deep
And I’d let myself sink
Away from humanity
Because if I could be anything
I wouldn’t be a human.
