There was a little fish

In a big black pond

Always wondering about

The unknown world beyond

Unlike all the others he

Refused a life of security

Unlike all the others he

Was born to roam free

Sometimes I wish

I could be like him

Not think about a goddamn thing

Sometimes I wish

I could dream like him

Maybe then, maybe then

Oh the fisher girl

She loved to love and dance

Carried her heart on her sleeve

And ate in the palm of her hands

Unlike all the others she

She took the time to see and feel

Unlike all the others she

Let go of these intricacies

Sometimes I wish

I could be like her

Not givin' in

To this outside pressure

Sometimes I wish

I could move like her

Maybe then, maybe then

I'd get some peace of mind

My darling

I'd get some sleep cause I'm tired

Of fighting

Sometimes I wish

I could be like him

Not think about a goddamn thing

Sometimes I wished

I could dream like them

Maybe then, maybe then

I'd get some peace of mind

My darling

I'd get some sleep cause I'm tired

Of fighting
