If I was a flag I'd have no nation

Just the colours and the wind

And if I was a church I'd have no treasure

Except the prayers and the hyms

And if I was a seagull I'd just rise up

And carry my soul across the sea

Drifting beyond the horizon

Lost by the ground to be free

If I was a life-boat I'd be waiting all my life

For another stormy day

And if I was a dolphin I'd be playing all the time

Just playing my life away

And if I was a kite I'd just be laughing

And dragging you up to the sky

Setting you down on a white cloud

While a seagull's floating by

And the silence roars like thunder
