As night falls in, begins my duty br They let me free to walk around br Around the house I walk vigilant br Guard my masters house in darkness br Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! br br All through the day they lock me in br Still on duty I am, no trespass allowed- br 'Wait at the gate for my master! ' br On my strong command they frighten br Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! br br Loyal to my boss I am always br Grateful and obedient, smart and intelligent br Courageous and faithful, I am altruistic br Along with master I go till death and thereafter br Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! br br Yet on a thin ice I live, in disgrace br They make me lick their feet, whip me too br May slaughter me one day, the greedy man br When old and fail to serve, they shoot me br Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! br br In every walk of life I am there, my master br Yet you always walk out on me br Out from the murk you come br Oh human! be humane and proud to be, br A world of tranquility awaits you!br br Mayasanal Suryakaladybr br
