I wish I was willow   And I could sway to the music in the wind   I wish I was a lover   I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend      I wish I was a mountain   I'd pass boldly through 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      I'd like to be a willow a lover   A mountain or a soft refrain   But I'd hate to be a grown-up   And have to try to bear my life in pain      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      I'd like to be a willow   A lover a mountain or a soft refrain   But I'd hate to be a grown-up   And 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   And I have to try to bear my life in pain   And I have to try to bear my life in pain
