BEING WILD

wish i had been wild, i would have been my very best
i'ld have lived in the jungle and ruled over the forest
if i had been a tiger i would have been quite ferocious
i'ld have charged at enemeies, had i been a rhinocerous
i would have been a horse or like the careless bear
or may have been the bison, or may be like the deer
i could have been a reptile or been a poisonous snake
or like the shrewd crocodile, i'ld have lived in a lake
if i were a shark, i would have swam beneath the sea
or like the large whales, in big oceans i would be
if i had been the eagle, i'ld have hover in the sky
or just like the falcon , i would always love to fly
if i hadn't been the animals, i may have been a tree
whichever form i may have been, i wish i had been free
