Lyrics
O I'm fierce in my love for you, FOX,
Wolf, lynx, and coyote,
Bobcat and beaver, opossum, racoon,
You lift me with your wild beauty.
So beware where you step in the woods,
Beware the means of the trapper.
When those steel jaws close over your leg
You'll bleed through my dreams forever.
So I imagine a possible world
Where no woman would ever consider
Wrapping her vanity up in skins
Wrenched from a fellow creature.
And here in my possible world
No FOX will ever be harrowed
Or hung on a peg, but left to roam free
To sniff out his own tomorrow.
O I am fierce in my love for you, FOX,
Wolf, lynx, and coyote,
Bobcat and beaver, opossum, raccoon,
You lift the world with your wild beauty.
