Now the pale morning sings
Of forgotten things
She plays a tune for those
Who wish to overlook
The fact that they've
Been blindly deceived
By those who preach
And pray and teach
But she falls short and the night
Explodes in laughter
But don't you come here and say
I didn't warn you
About the way your world can alter
And oh how you try
To command it all still
Every single time it all shifts
One way or the other
And I'm a god**** coward
But then again so are you
And the lion's roar the lion's roar
Has me evading and hollering for
you
And I never really knew
What to do
Now I guess sometimes I wish
You were a little more predictable
That I could read you just like a
book
For now I can only guess
What's coming next
By examining your timid smile
And the ways of the old old winds
Blowing you back round
And I'm a god**** fool
But then again so are you
And the lion's roar the lion's roar
Has me seeking out and searching
for you
And I never really knew
What to do
Sometimes I wish I could
Find my Rosemary Hill
'I d sit there and look at the
Deserted lakes and I'd sing
And every once in a while I'd
Sing a song for you
That would rise above the
mountains
And the stars and the sea
And if I wanted it to
It would lead you back to me
And the lion's roar the lion's roar
Is something that I have heard
before
A children's tale
The lonesome wail
Of a lion's roar
