I'm Glad

I'm glad I'm not a bird
Coz I don't want to eat worms
But I guess it would be good to have wings

And I'm glad I'm not a snake
Slithering around all day
And having to choke the life out of something

Yeah being human can be pretty good
With laws and boundaries that are understood
And even though things can get pretty bad
At least I'm safe from predator attacks

I'm glad I'm not a cat
Coz I don't have time for that
But then they have all the time in the world

And I'm glad I'm not a fox
Because being chased by dogs
Is the most nightmarish thing I can think of

I'm glad I'm not an eel
Or a slug, a snail or seal
Because they all look slimy and that's gross

And I'm glad I'm not a fish
Coz I'd end up on your dish
Just leave them be and have a slice of toast

Being human can be pretty good
With laws and boundaries that are understood
And even though things can get pretty bad
Your friends can help when you are feeling sad

I'm glad I'm not a tiger
Because fighting with some lions sounds like
Something I would actively avoid

I'm glad I'm not a giraffe
Coz everyone would have a laugh
At my long neck and make me paranoid

I'm glad I'm not in a zoo
Coz everyone would look at you
You'd never get a moment to yourself

Yeah I'm glad that I was born like this
It's easier, I'm sure of it
And I'm glad I'm not anybody else

Being human can be pretty good
With laws and boundaries that are understood
And even though things can get pretty bad
Just think of all the good times that you've had
