What's It Like?

by @rdlinder

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Rock opera still in search of a plot, so I keep throwing out songs that might fit it.

Lyrics

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

First and final will be the same melody. The other three will have independent, but related, melodies. Might throw in a transition to a minor key.

Nice! Love the meter... What are you thoughts on musical treatment?
