With Animals

(Album: Nature - 2018)

I think I could turn and live with animals
I think I could turn and live with animals
I stand and look at them long and long

They do not sweat and whine about their condition
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God
Not one is dissatisfied
Not one is demented with the mania of owning things

I think I could turn and live with animals
I think I could turn and live with animals
I stand and look at them long and long

Not one kneels to another
Nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth

I think I could turn and live with animals
I think I could turn and live with animals
I stand and look at them long and long
I stand and look at them long and long
