Walks with regal beauty
Rare in nature's find
Majestic gift of jungle
Beauty so designed

Knows where he is walking
Steps he makes declare
Ground he walks is blest with
Footprints he makes there

Walking towards the shade now
He makes his way so grand
Path that he will walk on
Becomes his sacred land

Sitting with assurance
His shadow twice as tall
No one else will enter
This great white owns it all

Mighty filled with power
For all the world to see
Beauty born of nature
Respected naturally

Awe with greatest presence
Such confidence bestowed
Noise he makes will signal
Respect to him is owed.
