[Verse 1]
I'm aware of the animals within me
And I won't let them dominate my mind
I must change their instincts
And make them more refined
I'm aware of their little funny habits
All their actions and attitudes as well
And I won't let them creep into my thinkin'
And render me senseless to their spell
[Verse 2]
I'm aware of the animals within me
And I know they are difficult, difficult to tame
I must be the winner
And master of the game
I'm aware of thеir constant reappearance
Thе disguises and camouflage they use
And I won't let them think that they can fool me
And lead me on just the way they choose
[Electric Piano Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'm aware of the animals within me
And I must cast their influence aside
I will be so forceful
They'll run away and hide
I'm aware of the struggle that's before me
The beginning of mastering the beast
And I won't stop to rest until I've conquered
And brought my mind happiness and peace
Peace
