All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize.
This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.
Will we stop and understand?
Will we ever take a stand?
If it has four legs or just two,
Every animal is an individual too!
We all fight for respect, well-being and freedom
So we could finally reach that beautiful Eden
Where the Creator co-exists
And where equality persists
Angel, animal … or human,
We all deserve some peace regardless!
