about

Here is a quick background story about the song.
A few years back, I was browsing through some articles about elephant riding. As romantic as it sounds, sitting atop its back as the big grey wonder slowly meanders down white sandy beaches, or along rushing streams in the thick of the jungle.
Elephants are wonderful beautiful animals and many wish to be up close and personal to them.

However my question was always, is it in their nature for us to separate many of them from their families, and to take selfies with them for our pleasure?

lyrics

Look at all them big grey wonders
And I wonder if they'd ever wonder too
About how they think they could
Never see their, families and
Being forced to do tricks for those selfies

Will we connect to those living in the wild?
Will we forget those living in the wild?
While those big grey wonders are suffering and
You know you wouldn't do that to no human child
Will we connect to those living in the wild? Wild.

Hey man, are you thinking about something,
Are you thinking about nothing but yourself?
Hey man, are you thinking about something,
Are you thinking about nothing but yourself?

Will we connect to those living in the wild?
Will we connect to those living in the wild?
While those big grey wonders are suffering and
You know you wouldn't do that to no human child
Will we forget to those living in the wild? Wild.
