lyrics

Dream walks through the desert land,
leave patterns in the sand.
Reaching forth to find the source.
Elephant I love you so.

Watch em' as they go,
children of the flow.
Eating in the sun,
now we're on the run.

As long as we get home to take a bath;
the game is who can make the biggest splash.
The mud gets in your eyes until you've sunk.
Why don't you take a ride up on my trunk?

A story has been told –
ivory and gold.
Intruders came to town;
my family stands their ground.

The days were good when we were free to play.
We'd lose track of the time all through the day.
We'd wrestle in the sand and find a bug.
Why don't you take a ride up on my trunk?

We ran to flee the scene.
We stomped on their dead dreams.
We left them in the dust.
(Watch them as they go).
With their guns to rust.
(Don't let em' steal her bones).
