ELEPHANT SONG (WE ARE FAMILY)
©Gary Bowman

Hear the thunder as we stroll,
Marching to the water hole
Mamas with their calves in line,
Papas tag along behind
 
We Laugh, We Cry, We Play, We Sigh,
We Care, We Grieve, We Are Family
 
See our gray and wrinkled hides,
Trunks that sway from side-to-side ,
Giant tusks of I-vo-ry,
Flapping ears stir up a breeze
 
We Laugh, We Cry, we Play, we Sigh,
We Care, We Grieve, We Are Family
 
Smart as monkeys in the trees
Primate cognitivities
Don’t forget our memories
We’ve got personalities
 
We Laugh, We Cry, We Celebrate       
We Touch, We Feel, We Communicate;
We Laugh, We Cry, We Play, We Sigh,
We Care, We Grieve, We Are Family
