[bodytext] => My Mother Duckling I have to tell you my mother duckling how special it is to have a mallard like me You’ve always told and said I can do anything Just spread your wings and be free I want you to know that never leaves my thoughts And makes some very vivid dreams I want soar through the sky like an eagle To glide along above the streams Anything is possible right As long as I stay true and believe Oh look see that one there mother One day that will be me. Which brings me to the other Thing that’s swimming through my mind Those others there hanging at the pond Really are just a big waste of time You couldn’t imagine some the things They talk about and what they say They’re total satisfaction comes when people throw us bread some days Well not this duckling, I’m not gonna Hang here for them to stuff me with bread So that some winter they can admire me above Their mantle when I’m dead. You know how hard I try And all the things that I’ve done Admittedly they weren’t always the most practical But those really were the most fun As many times as I’ve leapt And had a running start, remember over there You always have been rooting me on Making me feel so loved for and cared So I want to thank you for all That you’ve done and do I remember the story of the swan And that fairytales can come true I may not be an eagle today Or even tomorrow that won’t change But I know what my spirit says And that’s the really important thing. So Mother Duckling Hold your head high And spread your feathers with Pride Cause you boy is on his way As He takes it all in Stride. I’ll always remember to give it my all And never not try I will figure out a way to soar I will learn to fly I will make the dream come true not a swan but an eagle I will be too.
