Dandelion

For rhythm purposes, I think I'd go something like:

I wish I was a dandelion

Adrift upon a breeze

Sailing through the sea-blue skies

Up high above the trees

S2 would need more modification to deliver the same, but I guess you're not looking to re-write, and maybe rhythm isn't the primary consideration here, so that suggestion is probably redundant Jen :>

This reminds me of...
I taught eye-sore a puddy tat - no idea where that came from, but I'm sure someone will enlighten me :>
Anyway, I'm relieved not to be a dandelion - my fate would most likely be a huge dose of herbicide...
