All elephants are in urgent need of help

You may not hear it, but inside they yelp,

Harmless elephants are forced to die,

If they've done nothing, why oh why?

While elephants are left to shrink so small,

Their predators laugh and stand up tall

All the elephants have to try

If they've done nothing, why oh why?

These predators are just full of hate,

Can't they see the mess they'll create?

All the elephants must want to cry

If they've done nothing, why oh why?

Would the elephants lose a life?

Why should they be put up against a knife?

Why should they die, cry or try?

Why should this happen, why oh why?
