Title: The Elephant and Her Child
[Intro – choir]
Ohhh savannah, wide and wild
Walk the mother and her child
[Verse 1]
Across the golden grass she walks
Ancient wisdom in her steps
Dust rises beneath her feet
Echoing the earth she kept
[Verse 2]
Beside her walks the little one
Learning paths the elders knew
Through the wind and through the sun
Every day the world feels new
[Chorus – big choir]
Walk on, giant of the land
Guardian strong and wise and grand
Through the wild so fierce and free
Mother of the family
Walk on under burning sky
Hear the ancient spirits cry
Strong and gentle fierce and mild
Elephant and her child
[Verse 3]
Her trunk can feel the hidden streams
Her ears hear songs the grasses sing
Every step a living dream
Every breath the wild will bring
[Bridge – softer]
Night will fall, the stars will glow
Still her watchful path will go
Through the dark her heart is strong
Guiding where they both belong
[Final Chorus – huge choir]
Walk on giant of the land
Guardian strong and wise and grand
Through the wild so fierce and free
Mother of the family
Underneath the endless sky
Hear the ancient spirits cry
Strong and gentle fierce and mild
The elephant and her child
