wish to be

oh how he wished to be the birds

to soar high in the sky

oh how he wished to be the horses

to race across the earth

oh how he wished to be the sharks

to swim the deepest oceans

oh how he wished to be the clouds

to float adrift forever

oh how he wished to be the trees

to stand tall for years to come

oh how he wished to be the reefs

to be bright and beautiful within the sea

oh how he wished to be the wind

to see and touch the whole wide world

oh how he wished to be the snow

to fall delicate and deadly

oh how he wished to be the waves

to crash and break and rise high again

oh how he wished

to be and to feel 

everything
