I'm no beetle

I'm no beetle

or an ant

I'm just me

a hu - man

Sometimes I envy these worlds

The world of the flying bees

And the hopping mantis

A world where you can fully be

What you're design to be

A caterpillar brain

A butterfly brain

A birds brain or a crickets brain

You become that

What you're designed to be

But here I am

With a human brain

From the moment of birth

I breathe and I grow

And I breathe and I grow

Something wonderful then happens,

I start to think

Thoughts start coming in!

As I got bigger

I plan and I dream

I think sometimes

I rather be like the ant or the beetle

And all the creatures passing by me

So I don't think

And plan, and dream

And be me

Because all the dreaming

And planning

Will sure pass by

Or will take a very long while

To come by!

I will be finally sitting so still

And wish I had a simple life

Like these flying, hopping

Mantis, bees and butterflies!
