Like Lions |
| There are those among us willing |
| To get by on anything |
| Hollow hope of what is coming |
| A lifetime dangled by a string |
| But this ocean dives so deeply |
| And this river runs so wide |
| I won’t be counted one among them |
| Until my soul is satisfied |
| Brick and brick of buried hunger |
| Keeping all desire dark |
| And then we are like lions |
| We are tearing it apart |
| There are those among us lying |
| Saying nothing is for free |
| And then we are like lions |
| And we will not leave until we eat |
| Playing kings and playing peasants |
| Do we get what we are owed? |
| An eagle comes and talks of failure |
| A rabbit offers up its throat |
| Will they buy even our breathing? |
| A river strangled by a dam |
| Less than one percent are taking |
| So, tell me, who dries up this land? |
| Is it worse to see no future? |
| Is it worse to be afraid? |
| And then we are like lions |
| Pumping fire in our veins |
| We are born with a perfect hunger |
| We are born with a perfect need |
| And then we are like lions |
| And we are baring all our teeth |
| It is coming down the mountain |
| Fear that holds you like a cold |
| It wants to settle in your footprints |
| Keep you still from where you’re going |
| All you think you know of losing |
| All you doubt of innocence |
| That big sky still hangs above you |
| Every day just wants to quit |
| There’s no light you see to guide you |
| And it scares you just the same |
| And then we are like lions |
| Nothing dares get in our way |
| See your faithless sails drifting |
| And your truth just cut apart |
| And then we are like lions |
| We are golden in our hearts |
| And then we are like lions |
| We are standing on two feet |
| Hanging on the kitchen wall |
| For everyone to see |
| Get out your banjo |
| So we can sing |
| There are winds that wrap and hold me |
| There are whispers in the trees |
| I cannot hold all that is sacred |
| They are holding onto me |
| Kiss the years that all are dying |
| Kiss the face that makes you stay |
| They are in your rhythms walking |
| They are showing you the way |
| Breath and breath above a sickness |
| Shouting threats upon your life |
| And then we are like lions |
| We are fool enough to fight |
| It will cheat you in the balance |
| Taking more than left to live |
| And then we are like lions |
| We are strong enough to give |
| And then we are like lions |
| We are strong enough to give |
