if i was a flag i'd have no nation
just the colours and the wind
and if i was a church i'd have no treasure
except the prayers and the hyms
and if i was a seagull i'd just rise up
and carry my soul across the sea
drifting beyond the horizon
lost by the ground to be free
if i was a life-boat i'd be waiting all my life
for another stormy day
and if i was a dolphin i'd be playing all the time
just playing my life away
and if i was a kite i'd just be laughing
and dragging you up to the sky
setting you down on a white cloud
while a seagull's floating by
and the silence roars like thunder
