If I could be an animal

I would be a bird

so I could fly from my worries and troubles

so I could sleep on clouds and befriend the stars

I would be a fish

so I could float along the river of happiness

so I could say play chase with the shark

I would be a lion

so I could play hide-n-seek with the zebras and giraffes

so I could rule my safari empire 

I would be a monkey

so I could jump from branch to branch and feel the wind in my face

so I could race and fight with the chimpanzees
