Sometimes i wish i wasn’t born a boy
So my daddy wouldn’t yell at me for not playing sports
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t born so tall
So I wouldn’t have to look down on everyone I love
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t born on earth
I’d be a bacteria living somewhere far away
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t born so lost
I could’ve found myself so long ago
And sometimes
Well sometimes I wish I wasn’t born at all
Sometimes I wish I was born long ago
Back when children were likely to die at birth
Sometimes I wish I was a dog
I’d be happy eating whatever is on the ground
Sometimes I wish born a toad
Sleeping on lily pads and eating flies for life
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so alone
I’m a human being and I need love oh love
And sometimes
Well sometimes I wish I wasn’t born at all
