I like the simple melody and even the lyrics, although I think it's pure 
plagiarism... but very-clever-and-artistically-well-done-plagiarism.
See English Idioms on the internet... click HERE.

Also a good song for learning English Idioms 
and definitely very good for Children to learn.

Scroll down for the Video... and here are the lyrics.

by Singer Songwriter: Lenka Kripac

As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as mean as a word
As quiet as a mouse, as big as a house

[Chorus 1]
All... I wanna be
Oh oh oh... All... I wanna be
Oh oh oh... All... I wanna be
Is everything...

As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale

[Chorus 1]
All... I wanna be
Oh oh oh... All... I wanna be
Oh oh oh... All... I wanna be
Is everything...

[Chorus 2]
Everything at once
Everything at once
Oh... everything at once

As long as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice
As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be

[Chorus 1] [Chorus 1]

Weddings, Rhymes & Reasons

===.
I find these 2 songs have certain similarities starting with the first line of the both lyrics. 
They were both written about the same time so one may have influenced the other.


Here are the lyrics... scroll down for the video of the songs

The Wedding Song (There Is Love)
~ Paul Stookey ~ wrote in 1969, hit in 1971
(He is now to be among you)

He is now to be among you
at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour
is acting on His part.

The union of your spirits, here,
has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you
are gathered in His name…

[Chorus]
…there is Love, there is Love.

A man shall leave his mother
and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where
 the two shall be as one.

As it was in the beginning
is now and till the end
Woman draws her life from man
and gives it back again. And… [Chorus]

[Bridge]
Well then what's to be the reason
for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here
or love that brings you life?
And if loving is the answer,
then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something
that you've never seen before? Oh… [Chorus]

Oh the marriage of your spirits here
has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you
are gathered in His name… [Chorus]

Rhymes & Reasons
~ John Denver ~ wrote in 1969, hit in 1969
 (So you speak to me of sadness)

So you speak to me of sadness
And the coming of the winter
Fear that is within you now
It seems to never end

And the dreams that have escaped you
And the hope that you've forgotten
You tell me that you need me now
You want to be my friend

And you wonder where we're going
Where's the rhyme and where's the reason
And it's you cannot accept
It is here we must begin
To seek the wisdom of the children
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind

[Chorus]
For the children and the flowers
Are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day

Like the music of the mountains
And the colors of the rainbow
They're a promise of the future
And a blessing for today
Though the cities start to crumble
And the towers fall around us
The sun is slowly fading
And its colder than the sea

It is written from the desert
To the mountains they shall lead us
By the hand and by the heart
They will comfort you and me
In their innocence and trusting
They will teach us to be free [Chorus]

And the song that I am singing
Is a prayer to non believers
Come and stand beside us
We can find a better way

Happy 'You-Came-Into-the-World' Day

(Happy Birthday on the Seventh of May)

I like this poem so much I'm putting this on my BLOG. As in keeping with my normal practice, everyone is anonymous here. But for those who know, this person's identity will come through once you read the poem. The poem is so personalized... it's beautiful.

The author's identity is also obvious (again, for those who know) coz he always signs-off as AL... but then again, a lot of people sign-off that way too.

Enjoy the poem.

By-the-way, 'You-Came-Into-the-World' = 'Birthday'.... so you know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy 'You-Came-Into-the-World' Day
by Anonymous Lee aka AL

Today is your day.
As you go about today,
Do leave the followings at bay;

Forget about your farms,
For they are not real farms.
Forget about your aquariums,
For they are not real aquariums.

Forget about your cities,
For they are not real cities.
Take a moment and think,
As you need to do your thing.

Go on for a long ride on your scoot.
And don’t give anyone a hoot.
Feel the wind rushing at your face,
As you burn the roads with haste.

Smell the air and also the pollutants.
For they are life’s invaluable irritants.
As you end today’s adventure,
Tomorrow will be another adventure.

Have a blessed birthday.
And keep all worries at bay.

Happy Belated Birthday Wish


Happy Belated Birthday Wish

Birthday wishes sent every year
Renews the wish of happy cheer
When memory fails as we get older
Here's auto renewal to you from wisher.
~ PGA, 2006 Nov 27, Monday

Birthday wishes sent to you every year is a renewal of wishes from the previous year. But when birthday wishes are forgotten, renewal of wishes is automatically granted to offset the problem that comes as the person who wishes grow older. So once again, Happy Belated Birthday.
