Tree Hugger

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

Et le chacalot a dit:
Je voudrais être un yéti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'envoler loin d'ici
Je veux être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer
De tous les requins

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
So dry and lonely
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort
