If you saw the world as I did,
You too would rethink the title
King of the Jungle, Lions always ruling.

If you saw the world as I did,
You would have a new creature to fear
As size does matter

If you saw the world as I did,
People wouldn’t hunt me
But they do and always will

If you saw the world as I did,
My trunk and tusks would intimidate
As the destruction I can implement is catastrophic

If you saw the world as I did,
Africa would not be same
The world would not be the same

If you saw the world as I did,
Fear would be my ally
I would be hunted no longer

If you saw the world as I did,
I wouldn’t need to run
If you saw the world as I did.
