His parents both were hunted
She moved into the city in her twenties,
met my father, he courted her,
they fell in love an d married.
On a Tuesday, April morning,
that I'd do well to lead our little pride,
and so I tried to find my roar and be a li on.
I always show my teeth when I am smiling,
I only say I love you when I'm sure.
I've got some devastating claws
To protect them from the storm,
keep them safe and keep them warm
Music was the fire that I shared
It taught me when in fear
And at the risk of getting burned,
I tried to guide the pride
to learn to find their own ideas
of fire and fan the flame
with other stuff to do and see they
the things that made us lions
were not the same and i always
show my teeth when i am smiling
i only say i love you when i'm sure
i've got some devastating claws
and i'm learning what it means to
When all the cubs grew up
and we were spread around the earth
I found one day that I'd grown very sick
My bones were filled with holes
My belly hung in rolls and I was bald
or once my mane was thick.
I slept an d was ashamed I was quiet.
I was tamed then they came and stayed
and helped me heal in side
Though I had to learn once more
to be a lion without a roar
It's not the roar that makes the lion,
I always show my teeth when I am smiling
I only say I love you when I'm sure
I've got some devastating
I always show my teeth when
I always say I love you when I'm sure.
I've got some devastating claws,
learning what it means to really roar.
