I tried to get all the elements in as there is a Japanese folk tale about a stone cutter.

I'm a stone cutter
I earn my bread and butter
Hauling carts full of rocks all day

You're a mountain spirit
I know you see and hear it
The sun beats me down I can't get away

The heat makes my delirious
And you're a little curious
How about granting my wish today?

If I, if I could be the sun
I would be someone and say

Chorus
Look at me!
Strong and powerful!
A cut above the rest
The best of the best
Look at me!

I'm the sun shining
So bright, so bright I'm blinding
Look at all my glory on display

But oh, these skies are crowded
My days are often clouded
Despite all of my strength I can't find my way

If I, if I could be a cloud
I would storm when I want and say

Chorus
Look at me!
Strong and powerful!
A cut above the rest
The best of the best
Look at me!

Look at me!
My life is wonderful!
A cut above the rest
The best of the best
Look at me!

I'm a dark cloud
I'm big and I'm loud
No one's raining down on my parade

But oh, the winds are blowing
I can't see where they're going
They huff and puff and blow me away

If I, if I could be the wind
In my blue skies I would say

Chorus
Look at me!
Strong and powerful!
A cut above the rest
The best of the best
Look at me!

I'm the wind's furry
I'm always in a hurry
Life is a breeze I do whatever I please

But oh, these mountains stop me
Oh how mountains rock me
Climbing over them takes my breath away

If I were solid like a rock
As a mountain I would stand and say

Chorus
Look at me!
Strong and powerful!
A cut above the rest
The best of the best
Look at me!

Look at me!
My life is wonderful!
No one is as great
I've got the world on a plate
Look at me!

I'm a mountain tower
I have rock power
I can stand whatever blows my way

And yet I weep and l shutter
I see a stone cutter
Chipping me away like it's child's play

If I, if I were but a man
With my wisdom I could say

Look at me!
I am wiser now!
Be careful how you wish
Life is a gift
Look at me!

Look at me!
I am thankful now!
Blessings big or small
I'm grateful for them all
Look at me!
