Hear the cries of the animals
They need your help,
But instead of helping them,
People are busy counting their wealth.
“You were a prisoner too
How did you feel then?”
Asks the lion of the zoo,
“Didn’t the women cry then
When British imprisoned their men?”
I have the right to stay free
Says the bird with her mate
Everyone has the right to freedom
Doesn’t that your constitution state?
‘Tigers are dying of poaching’
You learn that about me,
But you keep buying our parts
Instead of making us free!
Hear the cries of the animals
Say all the animals of the zoo
We all want to be free
Under the spectacular shades of blue.
Please don’t destroy on habitats
By building houses and malls
We plead to you with us our might
Listen to our protesting calls.
