Don't Mistake my Silence as Defeat

I've seen a wolf get kicked

He whimpers and then he is silent

But he howls in his silence

 

My mouth is closed

My chin is down

I have learned my lesson

 

But listen closely

Really tilt your ear into my chest

And you will hear a howl

 

A howl of the strongest resolve

 

I am the wolf that was stupid

I am the wolf that got kicked

I will whimper and be silent

 

My howl is now for me
