HOW I WISH IF I COULD FLY

How I wish I had wings like a bird

I would fly to the sky

Soar higher and cease to perch

How I wish I had wings like a bird

I would appear in myriad plumage

And paint the heavens with blue rays

How I wish I had a voice like a bird

I would sing for others to imitate

Even the trees would dance to my tune

How I wish I had wings like a bird

I would hop from flower to flower!

Kissing the scents from blooming petals

How I wish I had wings like a bird

I would pitch my nest above the cloud

Just to flutter and shriek at the crescent moon.
