The lion
2
When my mother still was young her father died from too much wine
3
his parents both were hunted in the jungle
4
She moved into the city in her twenties met my father
5
he courted her, they fell in love and married
6
on a Tuesday April morning, his brilliant brain stopped working
7
My brothers, mom and i all sat round crying
8
When it occurred to me that i'd do well to lead our little pride
9
And so i tried to find my roar and be a lion
10
i always show my teeth when i am smiling
11
i only say i love you when i'm sure
12
inside my gentle paws i've got some devastating claws
13
And i'm learning what it means to really roar
14
To protect them from the storm
15
keep them safe and keep them warm
16
Music was the fire that i shared
17
it taught me, when in fear, to be open and sincere
18
Because sometimes being brave is being scared
19
At the risk of getting burned, i tried to guide the pride to learn
20
To find their own ideas of fire and fan the flame
21
With other stuff to do and see they left the music all to me
22
The things that made us lions were not the same
23
When all the cubs grew up and we were spread around the earth
24
i found one day that i'd grown very sick
25
My bones were filled with holes, my belly hung in rolls
26
And i was bald where once my mane was thick
27
i slept and was ashamed. i was quiet. i was tamed
28
Then they came and stayed and helped me heal inside
29
Though i had to learn once more to be a lion without a roar
30
it's not the roar that makes the lion, it's the pride
