Born a lion Beloved son of a desert chief Raised a leader Strong boy back in better days Born a lion Love and hope of his family Father's lion Young, wild and a whole lot of dreams Born a lion Little hands and a healing touch Oh a good heart Playing games in the desert sand Cried a sister Sound of war brought by southern winds Born a lion God's gun and the terror began Run! End of former life Shattered and destroyed Western world arrival End up on skid row Now the lion is dead But the memory is alive And the question remains Without any reply If it wouldn't have happened then what could have been?
