When I am dark and I am down
As dark and down as I am now
The only thing that makes me smile
Is to remember
That i'm beloved of the wild
And may you ever return
To the warmth of your species
As dark and down as I am now
The only thing that makes me smile
Is to remember
That i'm beloved of the wild
And may you ever return
To the warmth of your species
Most of all I love you
Because you don’t pretend
it doesn’t hurt
Waiting for the world to catch up
And see you for your worth
Because you don’t pretend
it doesn’t hurt
Waiting for the world to catch up
And see you for your worth
