Wish I Was Songtext
von Royce Johns

Wish I was an ol′ oak tree, standing tall big as can be
Only worry I got is when my leaves leave me
Wish I was an ol' oak tree

I wish I was a skipping stone, tossed out to the great unknown
I′ll ride on the water till I sink down alone
Wish I was a skipping stone

Wish I was, that carefree
Without a worry, Without a need
Troubles too the wind, and out of touch
I ain't there, but I wish I was

I wish I was a newborn sheep, running with the heard
Wherever they lead
Don't know my own way, but that′s fine by me
Wish I was a newborn sheep


I wish I was a croakin′ toad, singing songs to the high and low
Wouldn't care who′d hear it, just thought they should know
Wish I was a croakin' toad

Wish I was, that carefree
Without a worry, Without a need
Troubles too the wind, and out of touch
I ain′t there, but I wish I was

I wish I was a shooting star, handing out wishes, wherever they are
I'd pick em on up, and just take em′ too far
Wish I was a shooting star

Wish I was, that carefree
Without a worry, Without a need
Troubles too the wind, and out of touch
I ain't there, but I wish I was
I ain't there, but I wish I was
