Don’t hold back, just how do you feel
Could you find the sound that would make it real
To your animal flesh, to your animal bones
And remind us both what the animals know
So tell me your secrets
Your prayers at night
Show me your shadow
And I’ll show mine
But the Earth still turns, and the sun still shines
On the animal world, on the birds in flight
Can you hear them sing, How they sing for you
And we sing for them, as animals do
We are not alone
Just listen to them sing
A song so absurd
It could mean anything
But it means everything
