Laura Nyro - Lite A Flame lyrics

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 k**ing 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
