They gave him a cage
Circus put a sparkle
On his face
Away from life
The elephant walks
Shadow across a dream
Lost for ivory
Oh freedom
Lite a flame
It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain
Masai moon
In the morningrise
Africa -
The world comes alive
A matriarch
Leads the tribe
To the sweet water
The cool feelin'
And the way to survive
Oh freedom
Lite a flame
It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain
Of the plain
For greed not need
Societies sleep
Lead the killing hand on
Young ones full of spark
A wave of birds across the park
Kids climbing
Sliding, riding free
Elephant child hiding
Behind a tree
Prejudice
For an animal
Like the elephant of the plain
In the zoo They gave him a cage Circus put a sparkle On his face Away from life The elephant walks Shadow across a dream Lost for ivory Oh freedom Lite a flame It's like prejudice For the color of your skin Prejudice for a woman Prejudice for an animal Like the elephant of the plain Masai moon In the morningrise Africa - The world comes alive A matriarch Leads the tribe To the sweet water The cool feelin' And the way to survive Oh freedom Lite a flame It's like prejudice For the color of your skin Prejudice for a woman Prejudice for an animal Like the elephant of the plain Of the plain For greed not need Societies sleep Lead the killing hand on Young ones full of spark A wave of birds across the park Kids climbing Sliding, riding free Elephant child hiding Behind a tree Prejudice For an animal Like the elephant of the plain Explain Request ×
