Feel the beating of your heart
What are the emotions you wish to impart?
To express feelings in words is what sets us apart
In verbal communication humans can embark

Animals express in many other ways
The angst of their hearts when their babies go astray
Desperation of their calls, endless searching in the eyes
Encoded with the care of nature, humans aren’t the only ones to cry

Never dismiss nature’s subtle messages
In observing its language our perception grows
We’re really not so different, we strive to live and survive
We’re really not so different; it’s a blessing to be alive
