If I Want To Be

Who needs feathers when I have wings?
I might not sound like a bird who sings,
But when I know what I want then possibly
I could be a bird if I want to be.

Who needs fins when I have gills?
A fish and I might have different skills,
But if I try my best then just maybe,
I could be a fish if I want to be.

Who needs legs when I have heart?
A human and I might be far apart,
But if I dream my whole life than I guarantee,
I could be human if I want to be.
