BLUES TRAVELER lyrics : "Bagheera"

Bagheera walked into the bar and poured himself a drink
His fur was stained with the blood 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 cat's refrain


One dark night the man-cub came to the big black cat afraid
The boy cried, "Teacher, teacher I don't, understand this
ache within me"

The great cat sighed and (then softly he began)
He said, "Indeed thou art a man's 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 man's 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
