If I could be any tree in the ground I'd wanna be a tree where the birds hang around 'Cause everybody needs to be loved And I'm no exception, I was born to reject rejection If only for today Send a little love my way Every day begins with hope No one ever need despair Hand in hand, we all can cope each of us Alone is only half a pair, we've got to share If I could be any star up above I'd wanna be a star people wish on for love 'Cause everybody needs to be loved And I'm no exception, I was born to reject rejection If only for today Show me that you want me Show me that you need me Send a little love my way If I could be any star up above I'd wanna be a star people wish on for love 'Cause everybody needs to be loved And I'm no exception, I was born to reject rejection If only for today Show me that you want me Show me that you need me Send a little love my way
