I envy the sunflower for being so easily able to follow the light I wish to be heliotropic, and never myopic, and always so bright I envy the tree for being so easily able to branch out and grow I wish to be strong and never wrong I wish to stay upright even when the wind blows Oh oh oh, oh, oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh I envy the otters for holding each other so tightly they don't drift apart I wish to float, on my own, with no boat, and recognize love as an art I envy the bees for trusting the breeze, and helping the world to be sweet I wish to be selfless, but never helpless I wish to spread color and lead like a queen Oh oh oh, oh, oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh I wish to stand tall, but I'd hate to make shadows I'd stop feeling small if I could But then I wouldn't fit the clothes I've made, I know I envy the leaves for changing color, and bringing some light to this world I might spend some time on the ground But I hope when I'm stepped on I'll still make a sound Oh oh oh, oh, oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh
