Hold close dear one
and I will protect you
from all the evil things
that humans do
Listen to my heartbeat
that pounds against my chest
no one will harm you here
We can finally rest
We were once many in numbers
until they came along
They slaughtered us in thousands
both the weak and the strong
Now we live in captivity
It's the only way to survive
you will never know the pain I've felt
you will grow and you will strive
I will stay right here beside you
while they point and stare
Never be afraid dear one
even though it is unfair
Hold close dear one
they know not what they do
they are just stupid humans
