about

I wished I could become a wolf, and then maybe some things would hurt less, like love.

lyrics

Of all the animals i might like to be tonight
i will choose the wolf who strays from the pack, alone on my own i've gotten good at
and if the moon you are crying to is not also out my window this is a story after all
but now as i look there it is in my view so i guess i will cry too for me and for you

howl it up, howl it up, howl it up

and then when howling is through i will choose another animal to compare myself to
i am like the lion i've always wanted to be, my mane is wild, does that not mean i am free
and if the plains yield me no gain i will walk on them in love with something just the same
and until my mate rises up from the grasses i'll not expect it to happen i will not wait

i'll roar it up, roar it up, roar it up

all of the trees i will climb all the field i will walk
will give me sure footing will welcome me as their fauna
and i will know the glory of weather, how could a story be better than this
BETTER THAN THIS!

If all the animals could come talk to me in secrecy please
and teach me the lessons you all had to learn in attempts to help me with this crazy world
i know that i am just one tiny human just trying to do things with my warm blood
but that's not enough, i don't know how to use it, where is my purpose, where is my love

cry it up, weep it up, live it up
cry it up, weep it up, live it up

Wow! C'est trop beau! Mon cerveau adore ça! Quelle voix! Je veux voir cet artiste avec Pierre Lapointe au piano un jour! Ça serait presque organismique! C'est qui le gars des vues qui va m'arranger ça? ;-) Ha! ouin....j'avais oublié que les Dieux Hippies vont tout arranger! Oubliez pas que je dis ben des jokes! C'est pas toujours vrai ce que je dis.
