Center of a city
Such a hostile territory
Overdose of learning
Rules of pride and predatory
And there you were, patient and deadly
Comfortable, thinking you could be
Better and better, instinct incredible
And I believed in
Lioness
Your trainers say you've lost your confidence
Know I believe in you
You were admired
Beast of strength and endless beauty
They came to find you
With the promise of sanctuary
Saw that you could be
Pitiful, spending your days in
A spectacle of circles and cages
Over and over, 'til no pride was left at all
And I admit
Lioness
Your trainers say you've lost your confidence,
That you're diseased and delicate
Making mistakes
But Lioness, know I believe in you
So I'll try to wait
Till they turn away
And I will let you go
Yes, I'll try to wait
Till they turn away
Let you go
Lioness,
Your trainers say you've lost your confidence
That you're diseased and delicate
Making mistakes
But Lioness, know I believe in
Lioness, (know I believe in you)
Lioness, (know I believe in you)
Lioness, (just know I believe in you)
Lioness, (just know I believe in you)
