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!
