In the morning light, you're lying next to me on the ground
Flowers in my hair, you always make me laugh
On a cloudy day
Is it joy or sadness when the rain falls?
I know I cry too much, even now writing this song to you
And I know you right,
Sometimes I'm so crazy and lazy and coward
Oh, I wish I was more like you
You see, I do not want to feel that pain again
I do not want to cry
To write about real feelings
Oh I wish I was, free with you
Time is endless like the sea
Your love is a boat calling me
To find the courage, strength, the faith
We lost through the years
Will my footsteps remain on the golden sand?
Will my songs be hard when I'm dead?
And I know you right,
Sometimes I'm so crazy and lazy and coward
Oh, I wish I was more like you
You see, I do not want to feel that pain again
I do not want to cry,
To write about real feelings
Oh, I wish I was free like you and
Strong like you… free like you… Strong like you…
Free like you… Strong like you…
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
