If I were a tree 
There’d be no one here but me
I’d be swaying easily 
To the rhythm of the earth

And if I were a tree 
I’d have nowhere else to go
All I’d have to do is grow 
In my time and in my place

If I were a cloud 
I’d be hanging from the sky
Never ever wondering why
Sailing all across the land

And if I were a cloud 
I could watch the planet turn 
Having nothing left to learn 
For each day is just the same

All this joy and all this pain 
Scattered in the air again
Can you hear the old man cry? 
“Nothing left to do but die”

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

If I were a star 
I’d be watching from afar
Seeing all the things we are 
And perhaps a little more

When the earth is old and grey 
I could watch it fade away
“See, nobody’s here to stay”
I would say without a frown
