You

I wanna be

Eh, eh, can I have a tiny bit more on my voice, please?

You, hey

I wanna be

Look at you now

So wild and free

Watching you move

Why can't that be me?

I'm often down, often down

I often cry, often cry

The only thing I know

I wanna be like you, child

I wanna be like you, you

Wanna be like you

I wanna be like you, you

Wanna be like you

Take me to the river

Help me find the sun

I will follow you, child

I used to know the way

I forgot it all

I used to be you, child

I wanna be like you, you

Wanna be like you

I wanna be like you, you

Wanna be like you

I wanna be like you, like you

Wanna be like you

I wanna be like you, like you

Wanna be like you

I wanna be
