The river is never too far away
This skin is thick, but it needs some care
I've a full time job keeping this body fed
And this is all I'm meant to do
I know my place, do you?
But things haven't always been this cool
All of us have been through
Some pretty bad times as tools
We've all had our spirits broken
A ceremony we will never forget
Imagine the kind of pain they think
They need to inflict on a creature like me
So that I'll always do what they want me to do
And always give in
But there's another side to humans, I guess
There's this little character called "Lek"
She finds the land, she finds the help
She buys us free, she gets her way
She's had a taste of tusk in her ribs
but she always comes back
armed with more love to give
Imagine the kind of pain they think
They need to inflict on a creature like me
So that I'll always do what they want me to do
And always give in
Years and years of working for the man
Some lost their eyes some lost their minds
Some broke their backs, some lost their lives
We all lost our will to the feel of the stick
And now that everything is over
We don't hold a grudge
"Feed me that melon half you've got in your hand"
The river is ever too far away
This skin is thick, but it needs some care
I've a full time job keeping this body fed
And this is all I'm meant to do
I know my place, do you?
