THE ANIMALS

Elk

I will run forever and my heart won’t break
Staunch sinew cased in shaggy hide
Thunder hoofs making the mountain shake
Heaving strength, crowned with pride

Staunch sinew cased in shaggy hide
Balance blends with risk and chance
Heaving strength, crowned with pride
Grace and power in a danger dance

Balance blends with risk and chance
Thunder hoofs making the mountain shake
Grace and power in a dancer dance
I will run forever and my heart won’t break
