Bagheera
(专辑: Travelers And Thieves - 1991)
Bagheera walked into the
bar and poured himself a
drink His fur was stained with the
blood of monkeys and he needed time to think The
man at the
bar said, "What are you doing here?" Bagheera let go a
low soft purr that kept the
man from coming near He said "I'm Bagheera, the
mighty panther and the
jungle is my home I'm free, free in all I
see and that makes me free to roam Sometimes to feel the
music of the
jungle, it can cause you pain" And the
man heard Bagheera as the
entire jungle joined in the
big black cat's refrain One dark night the
man cub came to the
big black cat afraid The
boy was sure that he was dying due to the
endless stream of water that his eyes made Yeah, the
cat knew why when the
boy said, "I don't want to die" for these are the
ways of men The
boy cried, "Teacher, teacher I
don't, understand this ache within me" The
great cat sighed and then softly he began He said, "Indeed thou art a
man's child now and the
world is yours to give and take The
time has come now for your awareness to change forever, there's a
choice you must make You may remain here in the
jungle and hunt with the
free people Or, if you feel the
man's God calling you, return to your kind in the
village and worship at his steeple The
only thing you must do is what you feel in your heart is true I
will hunt now and leave you on your own to decide what to do" The
mighty panther went on his hunt The
secret Lord of the
jungle beneath the
night sky And some say if you could have seen him then you would have noticed a
single tear fall from his majestic eye
