If Only I Weren’t a Tree

I see people walking past me, laughing and kissing, enjoying life,

If only I weren't a tree I could love and live life,

Children are running and playing without a care in the world,

If only I weren't a tree I would be care-free,

I watch those children grow up to be promising beings, graduating from High School then,College,

If only I weren't a tree I would reach so many accomplishments like the children did,

Mothers and Fathers grow old to be grandparents enjoying the company of their grandchildren,

If only I weren't a tree I can grow old with that special someone,

If only I weren't a tree I would be free.
