Bagheera

Bagheera walked into the bar and poured himself a drink

His fur was stained with the blook of monkeys

And he needed time to think

The man at the bar said what are you doing here

Bagheera let go a low soft purr

That kept the man from coming near

He said I'm bagheera

The mighty panther and the jungle is my home

I'm free free in all I see and

That makes me free to roam

Sometimes to feel the music of the jungle

It can cause you pain

And the man heard bagheera as the entire jungle joined

In the big black cats refrain

One dark night the man cub came to the big black cat afraid

The boy was sure that he was dying due to

The endless stream of water that his eyes made

Yeah the cat knew why when he said

I don't want to die these are the ways of men

The boy cried teacher teacher I don't

Understand this ache within me

The great cat sighed and then softly he began

Indeed thou art a mans child now and

The world is yours to give and take

The time has come now for your awareness to change forever

And there's a choice for you to make

You may remain here in the jungle and hunt with the free people

Or if you feel the mans God calling you return to your kind

In the village and worship at his steeple

The only thing you must do is

What you feel in your heart is true

I will hunt now and leave you on your own

To decide what to do

The mighty panther went on his hunt

Secret lord of the jungle beneath the night sky

And some say if you could have seen him then you'd have noticed

A single tear fall from his majestic eye ^[1]
