Cheetah’s Heart
I remember the first time
I looked into your brown eyes
Your expression
Was no surprise to me
So much like the eyes
Already in my life
But what lied behind them
Was a mystery
As a cub you ran and you chased
Your prey on the playground
As you learned the lessons
Of your games
Now we watch you glide
With an easy stride
My Cheetah runs
With strength and grace
And I’ll run with you
Just as long as you want me to
‘Cause my Cheetah’s heart is true
Then you found your voice
Strong and graceful as your stride
Each day your song
Grew more loud and clear
Like a siren’s call
In a waterfall
All other sounds
Just fade away
You bring your gifts to me
Ideas in simple lines
That you bring to life
With an easy hand
A castle and a well
And a playhouse in the trees
We build the pictures
That you draw
And I’ll run with you
Just as long as you want me to
‘Cause my Cheetah’s heart is true
There will come a day
When you run away
To a place where I
Cannot follow you
But I know you know
That I love you so
And my heart will always
Be with you
And I’ll run with you
Just as long as you want me to
‘Cause my Cheetah’s heart is true
