I wish i was a willow

And i could sway to the music in the wind

And i wish i was a lover

I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend

I wish i was a mountain

I'd pass boldly thru the clouds and never end

I wish i was a soft refrain

When the lights were out i'd play

And be your friend

I strut and fret my hour upon the stage

The hour is up

I have to run and hide my rage

I'm lost again

I think i'm really scared

I won't be back at all this time

And have my deepest secrets shared





I'd like to be a willow

A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain

But i'd hate to be a grown-up

And have to try to bear my life in pain





I wish i was a soft refrain

When the lights were out i'd play

And be your friend

I strut and fret my hour upon the stage

The hour is up

I have to run and hide my rage

I'm lost again

I think i'm really scared

I won't be back at all this time

And have my deepest secrets shared



I'd like to be a willow

A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain

But i'd hate to be a grown-up

And have to try to bear my life in pain
