Bagheera walked into the bar and poured himself a
drink
His fur was stained with the blook 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 was sure that he was dying due to the
endless stream of water that his eyes made
Yeah the cat knew why when he said, "i don’t
want to die" for these are the ways of men
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
