Griffin Boice - Lion lyrics

[Intro: 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 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 [Verse 1: 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! [Verse 2: 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 me that you love me Watch me as I fade I'll give you all the things That these liars never gave The hands on the clock And the things we cannot change Tear it all to 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 [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 [Brige: 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, 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, hey! [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!
