    Lyrics »

I wish I was a willow
And I could sway to the music
In the wind sway
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
And I have to try to bear
My life in pain
And I have to try to bear
My life in pain
And I have to try to bear
My life in pain
I’d like to be a willow, a lover, a mountain
Or a soft refrain
But I’d hate to be a grownup
And have to try to bear
My life in pain
