Don't Be Anything Less Than Everything You Can Be Lyrics

DON`T BE THE LEAF IF YOU CAN BE THE TREE,
DON`T BE THE RAINDROP IF YOU CAN BE THE SEA.
`CAUSE A LEAF MAY FALL,
BUT THE TREE REMAINS.
IT MAY NEVER RAIN AT ALL,
BUT THE SEA REMAINS;
BETTER TO BE THE TREE AND THE SEA.
SEE?
DON`T BE A CLOUD IF YOU CAN BE THE SKY,
DON`T BE A FEATHER,
BE A BIRD AND FLY.
CLOUDS ROLL BY,
BUT THE SKY ROLLS ON
AND A BIRD CAN FLY
WITH A FEATHER GONE,

BE THE BIRD AND THE SKY
AND THE TREE AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA,
DON`T BE ANYTHING LESS
THAN EV`RYTHING YOU CAN BE!

DON`T BE THE SAIL IF YOU CAN BE THE BOAT.
DON`T BE THE LINING IF YOU CAN BE THE COAT.
IT MAY LOSE ITS SAIL,
BUT A BOAT WILL FLOAT,
AND A COAT WITHOUT A LINING
IS STILL A COAT.
BETTER TO BE THE BOAT AND THE COAT.
QUOTE!

DON`T BE THE STICK IF YOU CAN BE THE DRUM,
DON`T BE THE SUGAR,
BE THE PLUM, BY GUM.
YOU CAN BREAK A STICK BUT THE DRUM WILL BEAT.
WITHOUT A SUGAR COAT,
PLUMS`RE GOOD TO EAT.

BETTER TO BE THE DRUM
AND THE PLUM AND THE COAT
AND THE BIRD AND THE SKY AND THE TREE
AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA;
DON`T BE ANYTHING LESS
THAN EV`RYTHING YOU CAN BE!
DON`T BE THE `MOO` IF YOU CAN BE THE COW.
DON`T BE THE FURROW,
IF YOU CAN BE THE PLOW.
`CAUSE YOU CAN`T GET MILK FROM A `MOO`NO WAY,
AND THE FURROW`S IN A RUT,
BUT THE PLOW`S OKAY,
BETTER TO BE THE COW AND THE PLOW!

NOW,

DON`T BE THE STING IF YOU CAN BE THE BEE,
DON`T BE A TWO IF YOU CAN BE A THREE
`CAUSE A STING CAN`T MAKE YOU A HONEYBUN,

TAKE TWO FROM THREE AND YOU STILL GOT ONE

BETTER TO BE THE THREE AND A BEE

AND A COW AND A PLOW
AND A DRUM AND A PLUM
AND A COAT, BOAT, BIRD, SKY, TREE
AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA.
DON`T BE ANYTHING LESS
THAN EV`RYTHING YOU CAN BE!
DON`T BE THE STRING IF YOU CAN BE THE KITE.
DON`T BE THE DARKNESS,
IF YOU CAN BE THE LIGHT.
THO` YOU LOSE ITS STRING YOU CAN FLY A KITE,
BUT WOULD ANYBODY HERE FLY A KITE AT NIGHT?
BETTER TO BE THE KITE AND THE LIGHT.
RIGHT!

DON`T BE THE TAIL IF YOU CAN BE THE DOG,
DON`T BE THE b**P IF YOU CAN BE THE LOG.
HE CAN WAG HIS TAIL,
BUT IT CAN`T WAG `HE,`
A b**P WITHOUT A LOG
ISN`T MUCH TO BE.

BETTER TO BE THE DOG AND THE LOG
AND THE KITE AND THE LIGHT
AND THE THREE AND A BEE
AND A COW AND A PLOW
AND A DRUM AND A PLUM
AND A COAT AND A BOAT
AND A BIRD AND THE SKY AND A TREE
AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA!
DON`T BE ANYTHING LESS
THAN EV`RYTHING YOU CAN BE!
