Morning breaks on the ancient plain Roars and yawns score the morning rain And the lions hunt and the young cubs play As another day begins
Mothers watch with suspicious eye At the parade of life passing by And a distant growl hides a tortured cry As the hunger closes in On the prideland On the prideland
The lion king and the lioness Defend their kingdom against the best Their pride's survival's the only test And all the proof their life demands
Stalking noiseless in search of prey Tooth and nail till the light of day Sons and fathers fight side by side As the fittest take their stand On the prideland
BRIDGE And time was When the beasts of the wild ran free And time was When they kived lives of dignity
Before the sound of gunfire and thunder filled the land And the generations would thrive as it was planned
(Solo)
Before the sound of gunfire and thunder filled the land And the generations would thrive as it was planned
Sun skinks low on the killing field By the sunrise all wounds have healed In the silence all nature yields To the way it's meant to be
Tomorrow life takes another turn Around each corner we live an learn From the prid of lions we take our crues In the art of being free On the prideland
