If I Could Be

If I could ask the one who gives life for another life I would choose to be an animal! Which one should you wonder, Why, obviously, I wish to be a big cat! Living in the amazons, or in Africa Enjoying complete freedom And utmost power! Appeasing my hunger with meat Appeasing my thirst with fresh water And lying on the ground Staring at the skies Always relaxing And singing Hakuna Matata! If I could be an animal I would certainly be a big cat Purring myself to sleep Curling up to the neck of my mate I would love with instinct And protect my cubs with devotion But I wish not to come back to earth May him hear, the one who gives life Pray, take me there, with you, Above the clouds There, where the naked eye sees not Nor does Man's powerful machine see from its flight Nor does the flying hubble pass it by But there, it is there, Says my faith in the Lord's essence! Say the secrets of the Holy Books Pray do listen, and take me there!
