I wish I was a hunter
I wish I was a hunter
In search of different food
I wish I was the animal
Which fits into that mood
I wish I was a person
With unlimited breath
I wish I was a heartbeat
That never comes to rest

I wish I was a hunter
In search of different food
I wish I was the animal
Which fits into that mood

I wish I was a stranger
Who understands the sky
I wish I was a starship
When Saturn's flying by
I wish I was a princess
With armies at her hand
I wish I was a ruler
Who'd make them understand

[Chorus]
Never-- I wish...
Never say Never
I wish...
NEVER
I wish...
--Say never

I wish I was a writer
Who sees what is yet unseen
I wish I was a prayer
Expressing what I mean
I wish I was a forest
Of trees that do not hide
I wish I was a clearing
No secrets left inside

[Chorus]

I wish I was a writer
Who sees what is yet unseen
I wish I was a prayer
Expressing what I mean
I wish I was a forest
Of trees that do not hide
I wish I was a clearing
No secrets left inside--yeah

I wish I was a hunter
In search of different food
I wish I was the animal
Which fits into that mood
I wish I was a person
With unlimited breath
I wish I was a heartbeat
That never comes to rest

I wish I was a hunter
In search of different food
I wish I was the animal
That fits into that mood

I wish I was a forest
Of trees that do not hide
I wish I was a clearing
No secrets left inside
I wish I was a stranger
Who understands the sky
I wish I was a starship
When Saturn's flying by

[Chorus]

I wish...I wish...I wish...
I wish I was a hunter.
