WE HAVE WALKED THIS WAY
BEFORE
So many times our story has be told
Retold over and over again
What do you reckon that they have gained?
Money in the author’s pocket
The tale of the big bad wolf
And me
Little red riding hood
And my grandmother
What is all that about?
You wouldn’t hurt a fly
Except maybe in your eye
Just look at us
The two of us
Look at your face
Loving, attentive, caring
And always here guarding
Protecting
Wherever I go
Their myths, their legends
Of the big bad wolf
They need to be here
Right now this minute
The reputation they gave you
The one of destruction
The one hounding its prey to the death
Oh heck
What did man do before guns and rifles?
That was for survival
Now you are a trophy
Something to walk on
In their sweet homes
Oh boy!!!
Now they still want to
Taunt you, haunt you
Out of existence
What more can be done?
A lot
A great deal can be done
There are supporters
Supporting your cause
You walked these lands
Before man walked this Earth
The plains, the mountain, the glens
Why can they not see? Truly see
You are just like us humans
The only difference being
You have four legs and I have two
This is your time now
Time to bring on your show
