Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part

But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love
Now I'll never be afraid

Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Wish I was a bird

I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring
But I'm not a bird

And wishes can
Just fly away, my love
And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am

And who I'm not
Come what may
Oh, I'm no fool
Shining in your eyes

Of the stars, my love
No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not

Come what may
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may

Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
Wish I was a child
