You come running down to greet me
against the steel fence we rub
My hands and face cannot touch you
and I wonder if they should
Are you happy to see me
is a part of you wild
Your eyes soft but hardened
are you the mother or child

You have nowhere to run to
Not when guns and the tractor kill
Nowhere to run to
In your eyes something dying still
Want to run with you, to play with you, to be with you

Concrete rocks are your mountains
chunks of beef are your prey
Are you the same as your brethren
who live so free far away
Yet they all are endangered
and you in comfort survive
But your eyes ask a question
what does it mean to be alive?

When you have nowhere to run to
Not when me and my brothers kill
Nowhere to run to
It is love I want you to feel from me
In a dream I'm by your side, you see
There's a part of you in me
Want to run with you, to play with you, to be with you

So much joy, so much beauty, with the wind in your hair
Dancing, playing together, a graceful leap in the air
Gentle gaze in the sunshine, the spirit glows in your eyes
In a cage we live our lives
Glad you're here, wish I were there, together somewhere

Everyday people watch you
You eat children some say
Ferocious and wild, it's a joke I'm afraid
When raised by a human
when you long for my touch
You live trapped between two worlds
one of ours thanks so much

You have nowhere to run to
Not when me and my brothers kill
Nowhere to run to
In your eyes something dying, dying still
Want to run with you, to play with you, to be one with you
