This song, to me anyway, is just a long drawn out way of saying "The grass is always greener on the other side." The flower wishing that it was a tree is probably ment to be the very same flower that brings the desert and all the creatures in it such happiness, but it doesn't know how important it is because it's too busy wishing it was a tree, and has no idea that there is a snake hugging it with it's eyes.
