I Envy You

You jump into the water, save a life from drowning
You fight to ease the pain of others
You leap to blow the fires and rid the streets of gangsters
You help a man who's starving find shelter

Oh, and I who's too afraid to, I envy you
Oh, and I who wishes he could, I envy you

You'll find a cure for cancer, give a lung to save me
Throw yourself under a bus to help out a friend
You lose a leg in battle defending justice and freedom
You move us forward on our quest to travel through space

Oh, and I who's too afraid to, I envy you
Oh, and I who wishes he could, I envy you

You bring hope in darkness, show us we are worth it
Treat the lost with fairness and dignity
Stand to protect the weaker, when the strong abuse their power
And teach us all to love selfishlessly

Oh, and I who's too afraid to, I envy you
Oh, and I who wishes he could, I envy you

You stand up to a father who treats his kids with anger
Protect a wife in fear of her husband
You fly up in a rocket and land on other planets
You paint the Mona Lisa with your left hand

Oh, and I who's too afraid to, I envy you
Oh, and I who wishes he could, I envy you
Oh, and I who's too afraid to, I envy you

You jump into the water, save a life from drowning
You fight to ease the pain of others
