Praying mantis upon my hand
Show me something I will understand.
Jump to the grass but still in sight
To catch some prey, I pray this night.
You watch and observe all that surrounds
My backyard is your hunting ground.
Praying mantis do not fear
For we both see your meal is near.
And have this day thy daily bread
And turn to me with thy head
And now I know I understand
It's my backyard but you rule this land.
