I'm a cactus on a ledge A quiet life I've led But I've got dreams that you would not believe A prickly little flower And though I do not tower Someday I hope to be a tree And all my cactus friends They laugh and joke and jest I've heard it all My dream's too tall to reach Still I sit here in defiance And watch those leafy giants Someday I hope to be a tree I've always pined to see the neighborhood Though I've got a view of my own That a tree will ever know So right back to the start I've had a change of heart And now I've got my biggest ever dream I longed so bad to be The greatest, grandest tree That I forgot to be The greatest, grandest me Someday I hope to be best Cactus on a ledge you've seen
