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 war inside my head...
I found a lion hidden 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.

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.

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.

Remember an army of all those little kids,
Livin' life like they only get a little bit
It's hard to fight when you're born in the middle-end
I'd rather die, won't watch you givin' in
I'm sorry daughter, but you're father's not the same—
I can look into your eyes and I 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 we walk away
Promise me that you'll love me, watch me as I fade...
I'll give you all the things that these lions never
GAVE
The hands on the clock, and the things we cannot change
Is tearin' out the pieces and take back what I
MADE
If there's one thing I'd keep, it's you that I would save...
'Cause I am just a lion, and a lion I will
STAY.

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.

HEY! I NEVER MEANT TO LET GO,
You're 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
HEY! I NEVER MEANT TO LET GO,
You're 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...

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.
