Just Me
Would that I were stronger
That my wings could carry me
But oh-how feeble as I flounder
And I know I will never reach the peaks
Would that I were braver
That my heart could stand so bold
But oh-how weak I shudder
And I know I could never face the cold
Would that I were greater
Would that I were wiser
Would that I were anything more
Then who I am today
But oh-with stronger wings
And heart more stout and bold
I would not be the girl I am today
For greater is not me.
