I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be How can I sleep at night, there’s a roar inside my head? I found a lion hiding right beneath my bed I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed Cause I am a lion and you are dead
Johnny 3 Tears: Here’s a story of everything we’ll ever be You can hide but some of us can never leave And if you go I don’t need those little things They remind me of all our little dreams Can you hear the words, all I can say? We can watch the world even if they walk away Forget about tomorrow, tomorrow is today You were born a lion and a lion you will stay
Chorus [Danny]: I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
Johnny 3 Tears: Remember an army, of all those little kids Living life like they only get a little bit It’s hard to fight when you’re born in the middle and I’d rather die, won’t watch you giving in I’m sorry daughter but your father’s not the same I can look into your eyes and I’ll swear that I will change But tomorrow is tomorrow so forgive me if I stay You can hide beneath the covers while I hide behind the pain After all, only so much we can say Words can lose their meaning, once you walk away Promise that you’ll love me, watch me as I fade I’ll give you all those things that these lions ever gave Put your hands on the clock, and the things we cannot change Tear out all the pieces, and take back what I made If there’s one thing I’d keep, it’s you that I would say Cause I am just a lion and a lion I will stay
Chorus [Danny]: I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
Johnny 3 Tears: Hey! I never meant to let go All I want and you’re all I ever wanna know Can’t hide in the attic of a pretty home, of a pretty home, of a pretty home Why? I never meant to let go All I want and you’re all I ever wanna know Can’t hide in the attic of a pretty home, of a pretty home, of a pretty home Why?
Chorus [Danny]: I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
