Lyrics
ANIMALS ARE MY FRIENDS
Intro (narration)
The Aborigines of Australia and the Native people of North America have a remarkable relationship with nature. They believe that everything that exists on the planet has a reason and a purpose.
The purpose of the plant kingdom is to feed the animals and the humans, to hold the soil together, to enhance beauty and to balance the atmosphere.
The primary purpose of the animal is not to feed humans, but it agrees to do so when it is necessary.
The primary purpose of the animal is to balance the atmosphere and be a companion and teacher by example.
Animals do not give up their lives willingly unless it is necessary... Because of the sacredness of all life and the need to live without causing suffering, we as humans should not take the lives of animals unless our survival absolutely depends upon it.
The well-being of the human race concerns everyone - it is yours, mine and ours....
Song...
ANIMALS ARE MY FRIENDS
Animals are my friends
I love my friends
Animals are my friends
I love my friends
Animals are my friends
Don't eat my friends
Love them and be kind
And treat them as friends
For the animals are my friends
Don't eat my friends
Love them and be kind to them...
Narration
All things are connected and so the choices we make in our daily lives have enormous influence not only on our own health and vitality but also on the lives of other beings and indeed on the destiny of life on this earth. We must learn to live in harmony with the land, with nature and with the animals.
Animals are my friends
Don't eat my friends
Love them and be kind
And treat them as friends
For the animals are my friends
Don't eat my friends
Love them and be kind to them...
