The Children’s Song

You can swim like a fish if you want to
Swim if you're brave enough to try
And the whales will be amazed when they see you
In the deepest ocean drifting by

You can run like a stream if you want to
Run down the river to the sea
And the ocean will be full of envy
When she sees you running out to me

You can grow like a tree if you want to
Grow if you're not afraid to fall
And all the other trees will be jealous
When they see you standing straight and tall

You can fly like a bird if you want to
Fly like a bird if you dare
And all the other birds will admire you
When they see you dancing in mid-air
