if i was a lady bird

if i was a lady bird i would sit on a leaf flowing in a river

i would relax and let the current take me

i would surrender

if i was a flower i would be beautiful

i would be a pink lotus blossoming with the sun shine

i would surrender

if i was a lion i would be the king

i would sit proud

i would lead my pride

i would have a family

i would be powerful

but i would surrender

if i was a bird i would travel miles

i would spread my wings and kiss the sky

i would make a v for victory

i would feed my baby bird and i will know

when it is time to migrate

i would surrender

if i was a star i would be so high

i would twinkle and shine

i would remind people of my lover

i would praise him day and night

i would watch over the helpless lovers

i would surrender

if i was a child i would eat right

play until i am tired

i would have an imagination that keeps me smiling and busy

i would be dreaming of being the best and biggest artist

i would have no worries about tomorrow

i would not sit and regret yesterday

i would be cheerful

i would surrender

if i was human i would do good

i would work

i would love until it hurt

i would dance

i would pray

i would be an artist

i would take people higher

i would be blissful

i would surrender

wait

i just remembered

i was the lady bird

i was the lotus flower

i am the lion

i am the bird

i am the star

i am the child

i am the human

i remember it all

i know how they all feel

i am them and they are me

i was them once and i will be

i am everything it is all in me

i have the world in my heart

i experienced it all

because i surrendered
