The flower said I wish I was a tree
D E
The tree said I wish I could be
E
A different kind of tree
A
The cat wished that it was a bee
A
The turtle wished that it could fly
D
Really high into the sky
E
Over rooftops and then dive
A
Deep into the sea
A
And in the sea there is a fish
D
A fish that has a secret wish
E
A wish to be a big cactus
A
With a pink flower on it
A
And in the sea there is a fish
D
A fish that has a secret wish
D E
A wish to be a big cactus
A
With a pink flower on it
A
And the flower
A D
Would be its offering
E A
Of love to the desert
A
And the desert
A D
So dry and lonely
E
That the creatures all
E A
Appreciate the effort
A
And the rattlesnake said
A D
I wish I had hands so
D E
I could hug you like a man
E
And then the cactus said
A
Don't you understand
A
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
D
That'll stab you like a thousand knives
E
A hug would be nice
A
But hug my flower with your eyes
A D
The flower said I wish I was a tree
D E
The tree said I wish I could be
E
A different kind of tree
A
The cat wished that it was a bee

The turtle wished that it could fly
