There Was But One Monkey

There was but one monkey that came out beyond the trees.
There was but one from which many came to be.
There was but one who did not believe the swill.
There was but one monkey brave enough to use free will.
He stood upright to see over the blades of grass.
He stood upright for his protection from the mass.

He did not follow another, though many followed him.
He did not follow or live life upon their whim.
He did not follow and he changed the earth for good.
He did not follow another and with his pride he stood.
It was the idea that created all mankind.
It was the idea showing the beauty of his mind.

Take an idea for what it's worth, please don't follow me.
Take an idea and please take it carefully.
Take an idea and follow your own decree.
Take an idea for what it's worth, through it you'll be free.
Use it as a force when you feel your weary soul.
Use it as a force that will drive you to your goal.

So stand as that monkey did and you won't be denied.
So stand as that monkey did with courage by your side.
With an able mind the monkey knew he had to choose.
With an able mind, it's life he could not refuse.
With an able mind he changed a predestined plan.
With an able mind the monkey has shown the best in man.
