On a Sunday summer afternoon On my hammock swinging under days moon I had a dream of whimsical delight I was an elephant, taking flight My wings would take me on voyages far When others looked up, I’d be a most handsome star I’d fly up high in the cloud filled sky The elephant who thought he was a butterfly When I was young the others laughed at me With big ears, they would not let me alone you see Now I am the elephant who roams far and free Flying with wings that angels made just for me!
