Hey Tiger!
Hey parrot!
Lend me those wings,
just for today I promise,
sit still and squawk
as I swoop and soar,
chasing the air around me.
Hey zebra!
Lend me those hooves,
just for today I promise,
sit down and observe
as I gallop and leap,
faster than anything nearby.
Hey tiger!
Lend me those paws,
just for today I promise,
lie there and watch
as I sprint and dash,
racing the wind beside me.
Hey animals!
Lend me your skills,
just for today I promise,
rest and relax
as I dart and dive,
my day of being you has arrived.
