Strongest of All

Strongest of all is the cactus
He who stands quietly and resolute
Strongest of all is the cactus
HE stands neither like me nor you

He stands so lonely in the desert.
He stands so wisely and firm
He stands with a pride of his own
He stands with a pride that he shows

So when you are in the desert, always remember this
The Cactus is a warrior, and he lives in his own bliss
