Not I

Look at them dance,
                                              Look at them fly
                                              Look how they glisten,
                                              Under starry sky's
                                              See how they're free,
                                              All they can be
                                              Watch as their spirits run dry
                                              Should I be happy, or should I be sad?,
                                              Should I enjoy what I don't have?
                                              Yet as the night finally dies,
                                              And we say our goodbyes,
                                              I wish I was them,
                                              Not I.
