Song by Kimya Dawson<br /><br>

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"<br>

The tree said, "I wish I could be<br>

A different kind of tree,<br>

The cat wished that it was a bee,<br>

The turtle wished that it could fly<br>

Really high into the sky,<br>

Over rooftops and then dive<br>

Deep into the sea.<br>

<br>

And in the sea there is a fish,<br>

A fish that has a secret wish,<br>

A wish to be a big cactus<br>

With a pink flower on it.<br>

And in the sea there is a fish,<br>

A fish that has a secret wish,<br>

A wish to be a big cactus<br>

With a pink flower on it.<br>

<br>

And the flower<br>

Would be its offering<br>

Of love to the desert.<br>

And the desert,<br>

So dry and lonely,<br>

That the creatures all<br>

Appreciate the effort.<br>

<br>

And the rattlesnake said,<br>

"I wish I had hands so<br>

I could hug you like a man."<br>

And then the cactus said,<br>

"Don't you understand,<br>

My skin is covered with sharp spikes<br>

That'll stab you like a thousand knives.<br>

A hug would be nice,<br>

But hug my flower with your eyes."<br>

<br>

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"<br>

The tree said, "I wish I could be<br>

A different kind of tree,<br>

The cat wished that it was a bee,<br>

The turtle wished that it could fly<br>

Really high into the sky,<br>

Over rooftops and then dive<br>

Deep into the sea.<br>

<br>

And in the sea there is a fish,<br>

A fish that has a secret wish,<br>

A wish to be a big cactus<br>

With a pink flower on it.<br>

And in the sea there is a fish,<br>

A fish that has a secret wish,<br>

A wish to be a big cactus<br>

With a pink flower on it.<br>

<br>

And the flower<br>

Would be its offering<br>

Of love to the desert.<br>

And the desert,<br>

So dry and lonely,<br>

That the creatures all<br>

Appreciate the effort.<br>

<br>
