The Last Possible Moment
I heard a story once, I hope it’s true from a time before me and you
When the people and the animals were one, happy creatures living in the sun
Everybody spoke the common tongue
Then one day the Earth stood still, then it cracked and split in two
The animals and people were afraid, one ran one way, the other ran the other way
But at the last possible moment, their last chance to decide
At the very last possible moment, the dogs jumped on our side
The other animals are jealous now, they see the dogs like sacred cows
But the dogs they dream of running wild and free
Streaking through the jungle breathlessly, leashes off and forever free
But at the last possible moment, their last chance to decide
At the very last possible moment, the dogs jumped on our side
You might say, Hey, what about the cats? You’ve a right to your opinion, that’s a fact
It’s just a story plucked from ancient history turning into legend and mythology
A parable of love and loyalty for you and me
