life is neva enough

i heard this song once and immediately fell in love with it
it depicts the never-satisfied nature of beings in life
tho not mentioning humans, it acts as a direct message to us all
adapted from the movie juno

Kimya Dawson - Tree Hugger
The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"The tree said, "I wish I could beA different kind of tree,The cat wished that it was a bee,The turtle wished that it could flyReally high into the sky,Over rooftops and then diveDeep into the sea.And in the sea there is a fish,A fish that has a secret wish,A wish to be a big cactusWith a pink flower on it.And in the sea there is a fish,A fish that has a secret wish,A wish to be a big cactusWith a pink flower on it.And the flowerWould be its offeringOf love to the desert.And the desert,So dry and lonely,That the critters allAppreciate the effort.Et le jackalope a ditJe voudrais être un yetiPour voler dans la nuitEt m'en aller loin d'iciMais le yeti a ditJe voudrais être un monstre marinPour pouvoir rentrer dans la merDe tous les requins.And the rattlesnake said,"I wish I had hands soI could hug you like a man."And then the cactus said,"But don't you understand,My skin is covered with sharp spikesThat'll stab you like a thousand knives.A hug would be nice,But hug my flower with your eyes."The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"The tree said, "I wish I could beA different kind of tree,The cat wished that it was a bee,The turtle wished that it could flyReally high into the sky,Over rooftops and then diveDeep into the sea.And in the sea there is a fish,A fish that has a secret wish,A wish to be a big cactusWith a pink flower on it.And in the sea there is a fish,A fish that has a secret wish,A wish to be a big cactusWith a pink flower on it.And the flowerWould be its offeringOf love to the desert.And the desert,So dry and lonely,That the critters allAppreciate the effort.
