You know you can't live in the water you'd just be wet all the time
|
Your hands would get wrinkled your face would turn blue
|
And you'd wind up on somebody's line
|
That's why you can't be a fish water is not what you do
|
That's why you can't be a fish that's why you have to be you
|
|
You know you can't live in the air why you'd be in the clouds all the time
|
You'd get dizzy from being so high and you must have wings if you fly
|
So that's why you can't be a bird flying is not what you do
|
That's why you can't be a bird that's why you have to be you
|
|
You know you can't live in a tree for one thing the trees're too tall
|
There's nothing to eat in a tree and there's always a chance you could fall
|
That's why you can't be a squirrel climbing is not what you do
|
That's why you can't be a squirrel that's why you have to be you
|
But it's okay to be you just being yourself you'll go far
|
It's really okay to be you I love you the way you are (ain't we great)
