Don't hold back-just how do you feel? Could you find the sound that would make it real To your animal flesh, to your animal bones And remind us both what the animals know Tell me your secrets Your prayers at night Show me your shadow And I'll show mine But the Earth still turns, and the sun still shines On the animal world, on the birds in flight Can you hear them sing? How they sing for you And we sing for them, as animals do We are not alone Just listen to them sing A song so absurd It could mean anything But it means everything
