Lyrics
**Verse 1:**
In the heart of Cincinnati, in a world far from home,
There lived a silverback gorilla, in his jungle made of stone.
Oh, Harambe, the gentle giant, with a heart so pure and kind,
In his eyes, a world of wisdom, in his soul, a curious mind.
**Chorus:**
Harambe, oh Harambe, king of the concrete trees,
Living in a zoo, with a heart so true, beneath the canopy.
Harambe, oh Harambe, we remember you today,
In the stories that we tell, your spirit will always stay.
**Verse 2:**
Children gathered at his kingdom, with their laughter and their cheer,
He would watch them with a wonder, without a trace of fear.
But one day, a little black boy fell, into the enclosure's lair,
In a moment of confusion, Harambe stood there, unaware.
**Chorus:**
Harambe, oh Harambe, king of the concrete trees,
Living in a zoo, with a heart so true, beneath the canopy.
Harambe, oh Harambe, we remember you today,
In the stories that we tell, your spirit will always stay.
**Bridge:**
Well, the crowd they all were screaming, and the cameras started to roll,
In the chaos and commotion, a decision took its toll.
Oh, the zookeepers they trembled, and the parents they did cry,
As Harambe, the gentle giant, was sentenced then to die.
**Verse 3:**
Oh, little boy, you wandered, into a place you shouldn't be,
And the world looked on in horror, as the gentle beast took a knee.
A single shot rang through the air, and Harambe hit the ground,
A life was lost that fateful day, to save a child who'd drowned.
**Chorus:**
Harambe, oh Harambe, king of the concrete trees,
Living in a zoo, with a heart so true, beneath the canopy.
Harambe, oh Harambe, we remember you today,
In the stories that we tell, your spirit will always stay.
**Outro:**
So here's to you, Harambe, in the heaven's open wide,
With the angels and the ancestors, forever by your side.
May you find the freedom there, that you never had below,
In the lush and green savannahs, where the wild things grow.
Harambe, oh Harambe, your legend will never fade,
In the hearts of those who loved you, your memory is made.
Rest in peace, dear Harambe, in the stars up above,
Forever in our hearts, with undying love.
