I wish I was a bird Flying between countries free from worries I wish I was a fish in the sea Swimming along with other sea creatures without fighting I just don't want to be... I don't want to be a human being Because humans forget and repeat the same stories I don't want to be a vicious selfish being I'd rather live as a snail or a bat I wish I was an elephant in the jungle With my family living happily in peace I wish I was a camel in the desert And my patience is known to tolerate hardship I just don't want to be a human being Because humans forget and repeat the same stories I don't want to be an evil aggressive being I'd rather live as a crow or a snake I'd rather live as a cockroach or a fly I'd rather live as any animal
