Hung up on semantics - what’s in a word Draw a hard line in the sand I have heard Take the word “soul†we all know what it means But maybe, just maybe it ain’t what it seems Humans the master race that's what we are Animals and creatures, beneath us by far Souls, they don't have one, so I’ve been told Subservient to us 'cause that is their role So much we share with them, easy to see Like they all long, long to be free To seek out the things we all want to live by Their freedom we should never deny, never deny Can they not suffer Do they not want to live Are they so different – are we being fair To exclude them from care Can they not feel the warmth of the sun upon their faces And do they not love and guard their young just as we do And do they not fear violence, like human beings do Can they not suffer Do they not want to live Are we so different – are we being fair To exclude them from care
