V5

[Verse 1] A donkey told a tiger, “The grass is blue.” The tiger replied, “No — it’s green, and you know it too.” But the donkey stomped and kicked up a fight, So they marched to the lion to set it right. [Verse 2] The donkey declared, “Your Highness, tell me true, Isn’t it clear the grass is blue?” The lion replied, “If you believe it’s so, Then yes — it’s blue. Now off you go.” [Chorus] When ignorance screams, wisdom stands still, Not every quarrel’s worth dying on the hill. Some truths don’t need a courtroom day, The tiger learned — and walked away. [Verse 3] But the donkey shouted, “He disagrees with me! Punish this tiger for his heresy!” The lion then roared, “Three days you’ll keep, Your stripes in silence — not a peep.” [Bridge] The tiger asked, “Why punish me when the truth is clear?” The lion replied, “You wasted your roar where none would hear. The grass is green — I’ve seen it grow, And still, you came to tell me so.” [Chorus] When ignorance screams, wisdom stands still, Not every quarrel’s worth dying on the hill. Some truths don’t need a courtroom day, The tiger learned — and walked away. [Outro] Some truths stand tall without the violence… When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent.
