If Only
Were I a giraffe I'd give you the moon
By biting off pieces until its consumed,
If I were a Hippo I'd give you my lake
By crushing the crocodiles caught in my wake.
Were I a monkey I'd give you my tree
By building a tree house for just you and me,
If I were a leopard I'd give you my spots
By rubbing your body against them a lot!
Were I the eagle I'd give you the sky
By screaming your name out wherever I fly,
If I were a toad I'd give you my wart....
But I'm only a man who offers his heart.
