I was the Bull
-
The
Tiger
Too
-
I've been the Monkey
-
And
The
Shrew
-
I was an Elephant

-
Awhile
-
Once

-
A
Crocodile

-
Of
The Nile
-
A Lizard
-
I was sent to be
-
Before
-
A
Wolf

-
That
Wandered
Free
-
The Bear

-
 I was
Not long ago
-
And then
-
A
White Owl

-
In
The
Snow
-
A Whale
-
I've swum
The Seven Seas
-
Been
A bird

-
Amongst the trees
-
All animals
-
Are of one kind
-
All
Brothers

-
That
Includes
Mankind
-
Of course

They hear
-
What I have said
-
You see
-
Their spirits dwell 

-
Still in my head
