Bruce Cockburn - Wondering Where the Lions Are lyrics

Sun's up, uuh huh, looks okay The world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me. I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me. Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake, Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take, Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun (should be!) they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, Going to sail into eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...
