In the heart of man, a beast does reside A spirit fierce that often hides inside With courage of a lion, swift as a deer In every human heart animal spirits appear Eyes of the eagle seeing truth so clear Strength of the bear conquering fear Running with wolves under Moon command In tune with nature on sea or land In the whisper of the wind the buffalo's might In the silence of the night the owl's insight The spirit of the animal in us all does dwell A timeless bond no words can tell Yet within us all a gentleness belongs The cheerful din of soulful love songs The animal spirit wild and free Echo of what mankind used to be
