cherp, cherp…cherp…
the sun rises
cherp, cherp… cherp…
eyes open slowly, they fly
cherp, cherp… cherp…
their songs soar
tweet, tweet… tweet, chirp…

rattle, rattle… rattle…
through the tall grass
rattle, rattle… rattle…
slithering slowly, locking eyes
rattle, rattle… rattle…
pouncing on its prey
hiss, hiss… hiss, rattle…

quack, quack… quack…
one after another
quack, quack… quack…
wadding, heads held high
quack, quack… quack…
kicking upstream
coo, coo… coo, quack…

growl, growl… growl…
face to face
growl, growl… growl…
fear, one fades away
growl, growl… growl…
free
roar, roar… roar, growl…
