I Can Swim, But I Should Fly

I can swim but I should fly!
If I do, will I die?
     With the birds and the fish
fighting over me if they wish!
     Am I racing with the number two?
With the fish in the ocean blue,
or with the birds in the sky?
But I'm afraid I will die!
What should I do?
Boohoo, boohoo!
I know, I know!
I will do both.
I will fly in the sky,
and this is no lie!
Then I will swim with the fish,
when they wish!
