When mom wakes me up early in the morning,
I yearn to be in my cosy bed yawning!
When I droopily find my way to school,
I yearn to be in the fresh water pools!
When at midday I'am sweating hard,
I yearn to be in Antartica,playing cards!
When in the evening I'am concentrating on Angles and Surds,
I yearn to be roosting with the chirping birds!
But when I'am doing something for myself
I'll always yearn to be Myself!
For I wish to long and I long to wish
But I hardly realised this-
That what I'd be happiest with
Is to be happy just to wish!
I yearn to be in my cosy bed yawning!
When I droopily find my way to school,
I yearn to be in the fresh water pools!
When at midday I'am sweating hard,
I yearn to be in Antartica,playing cards!
When in the evening I'am concentrating on Angles and Surds,
I yearn to be roosting with the chirping birds!
But when I'am doing something for myself
I'll always yearn to be Myself!
For I wish to long and I long to wish
But I hardly realised this-
That what I'd be happiest with
Is to be happy just to wish!
