Laura Nyro Song Lyrics

Artist: Laura Nyro
Song: Lite a Flame (The Animal Rights Song)
Album: Walk the Dog and Light the Light

In the zoo they gave him a cage
Circus put a sparkle on his face
Away from life the elephant walks
Shadow across a dream, lost for ivory
Oh freedom, lite a flame

It's like prejudice for the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman, prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Masai moon in the morningrise, Africa, the world comes alive
A matriarch leads the tribe to the sweet water
The cool feelin' and the way to survive
Oh freedom, lite a flame

It's like prejudice for the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman, prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain, of the plain

For greed not need, societies sleep, lead the killing hand on

Young ones full of spark, a wave of birds across the park
Kids climbing, sliding, riding free
Elephant child hiding behind a tree

Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain
