[Chorus:]
The flower said
"I wish I was a tree"

The tree said
"I wish I could be
A different kind of tree

The cat wished
That it was a bee
The turtle wished

That it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive

Deep into the sea

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it

And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

And the flower

Would be it's offering
Of love to the desert
And the desert

So dry and lonely
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort


Et le jackalope a dit
"Je voudrais être un yeti

Pour voler dans le nuit
Et m'en aller loin d'ici"


Mais le yeti dit
"Je voudrais être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer

De tous les requins"

And the rattlesnake said

I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man
And then the cactus said

Don't you understand
My skin is covered
With sharp spikes

That'll stab you
Like a thousand knives
A hug would be nice

But hug my flower
With your eyes


(Chorus)

(Repeat 1st verse)


And the flower
Would be it's offering

Of love to the desert
And the desert
So dry and lonely

That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort
