We could have been a honey bee
To make and eat sweet sweet honey
Visit the beautiful flowers sublime
Relish such pleasures all the time

Wading early in the flowery dews
Never getting mud on our shoes
Find way home via a built in guide
Acting without having to decide

Yes we could have been a honey bee
With wings to soar over land and sea
Fly above much of the earth's harm
Living in the safety of family swarm

A life so sweet, aromatic, and cool
Like having no homework for school
A life programmed on computer disk
This is only part of the honeybee's list

But how would we like friend or kin
That maby loved us from start to end
Yet not a love formed in their mind
Just a programmed love undefined

From this verse we can plainly see
Why we were not made a honey bee
Because He is seeking us friends to be
God set greater goals for you and me

He installed our, free spirit, free
That we choose our course to be
Thank you Lord we're not a bee
But Lord help us to follow Thee
