The elephant and her child

Title: The Elephant and Her Child

Ohhh savannah, wide and wild

Walk the mother and her child

Across the golden grass she walks

Ancient wisdom in her steps

Dust rises beneath her feet

Echoing the earth she kept

Beside her walks the little one

Learning paths the elders knew

Through the wind and through the sun

Every day the world feels new

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

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

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

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
