[G]The flower said, ``I wish I was a [C]tree''
The tree said, ``I wish I could [D]be
A different kind of tree''
[G]The cat wished that it was a bee
[G]The turtle wished that it could fly
[C]Really high into the sky
[D]Over rooftops and then dive
[G]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
{repeat: 2}


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 jackalope a dit:
``Je voudrais être un yéti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'en aller loin d'ici''
Mais le yéti a dit:
``Je voudrais 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''
