lyrics

Wild is the Way

In the jungle, roams the tiger
Proud and mighty, swift and graceful
Oh, she is not afraid, she is not afraid
For wild is the tiger’s way

Across the ocean darts the dolphin
Sleek and silver, free and laughing
Oh, she is not afraid, she is not afraid
For wild is the dolphin’s way

What became of civilization
Run amok by our ambition
Growing lazy with each convenience
Outsmarted again by our own genius

In the forest, plays the monkey
In the treetops, swinging joyfully
Oh, she is not afraid, she is not afraid
For wild is the monkey’s way

On the mountain, dwells the Buddha
In a cold cave, with his mind blazing
He is not afraid, he is not afraid
For wild is the Buddha’s way
