lyrics
You say, "Don't endanger us!"
Like, I'm a monster, so that's what I do
Well OK, I've got tentacles
I am really no different from you
You don't know what it's like for me
Walking through this big world all alone
When there's no one who will speak to you
Or who will let you come into their
Home
All of you animals, look at me, listen just
Stop! Running away,
I'm just like you,
Horns claws and fangs,
I've got feelings too
Stop! Why don't you stay?
I know you would find
Your heart beats the same
Living rhythm as mine
Ten legs or none at all,
Monster or animal,
We don't need names because
Deep down we're all just the same
Let me stay here and I'll help you out
I'll do all kinds of farm work and chores
I can give so much back to you
If you only would open your doors
I dream of being your friend you know
I would never wish you any harm
I've got love and I've got empathy
for every animal here on this
Farm
All of you animals look at me listen just
Stop! Running away,
I'm just like you,
Horns claws and fangs,
I've got feelings too
Stop! Why don't you stay?
I know you would find
Your heart beats the same
Living rhythm as mine
Ten legs or none at all,
Monster or animal,
We don't need names because
Deep down we're all just the same
