What's It Like?

What's it like to be a tiger? What's it like to be a man? Is it strength and muscle fiber? Is it someone's master plan? I can't be man/cat together I can't be a blend of both I refuse to choose whatever Fate, selection, or sworn oath Never will I follow that path Never will I tread that trail I would rather face the sure wrath Than to live beyond the pale Is it choice, or is it fate? Was it set back in my youth? Could it be that it's too late? That my fear is now the truth? What's it like to be a tiger? That is what I have to face Man or beast, a great divider It's a fate I must embrace
