Wanna-Be-Song
Unni Wilhelmsen
Oh, how I wish to be a woman
Pale and silent
Thin and fragile
Who could bear to sit still
Bear to sit still for hours
Oh, how I wish to appear
Like a cat
Wide open eyes
Occupied by my own mind
Moving in waves
Moving in waves for days
And oh, how I wish to be
What I feel like, sometimes
How I want to be strong and brave
I'm stronger than I have to
And as brave as I can be
But only when things
Only when things have no value to me
And, oh, how I wish to be part of my songs
The way they're being parts of me
The places I go when I write
That's where I quietly observe
Silently observe my life
The places I go when I write
That's where I silently
Secretly observe my life
