I envy the birds for their flight,

I envy the tiger her beauty,

I envy the owls, rulers of night.

I envy the cheetah her quiet, sure might.

I envy the wolf for her confidence,

And I envy the birds for their flight.

I envy the whales and dolphins,

So mighty, so quiet, so sure.

I envy the eagles, though they may be no more.

I envy the birds for their flight,

I envy the tiger her beauty,

I envy the owls, rulers of night.

I envy the cheetah her sure, quiet might.

I envy the wolf her confidence,

And I envy the birds for their flight.
