 enough weight

n my skin.
            
Flower petals 

            
and feathers t

              
ether me to th

ine side since

     
 the day that 

I died.
            
While I whittl

And now you got me thinking-

[Chorus]
             
I wish I could

 that way
             
You'd wish I c

But if the sho

ion between my

              
self and this 

         
body that they

  
 stuck me in
            
The privilege 

             
of being born 

        
to be a man

And now you got me thinking-

[Chorus]
