2. THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT

LOOKING THROUGH THE WILDERNESS OF YOU, I CANNOT CRY
FOR EYE TO EYE, HEART TO HEART, WE WERE EQUALS AT THE START
WALKING ON THE KNIFE-EDGE OF A SMILE, YOU STAND ALONE
LOST IN THOUGHT, SILENT CHILD, STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL YET WILD

THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT, WITH SHUTTERED EYES HE CANNOT SEE
THE SHADOWS DANCING IN THE LIGHT
BUT IN THE DARKNESS HE IS LONELY
THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT. HE IS NOT MASTER OF HIS SOLITUDE
HE DREAMS OF TAKING FLIGHT
TO WHERE THE LOST AWAKEN ONLY

BUT YOU AND I, WE'RE COMING HOME
WE'RE STRONG AND WE BELONG TOGETHER
SEE THE LION PROUD AND FREE

WHISPERING THROUGH THE MEMORY OF TIME, THERE IS A VOICE
CRYING OUT DEEP WITHIN FOR THE MOMENT TO BEGIN
BREATHING IN THE MUSIC OF YOUR THOUGHTS, YOU FIND THE WAY
TO TURN THE TIME ROUND AND ROUND
UNTIL WE ECHO WITH THE SOUND

THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT. HE IS STILL RESTLESS, HE IS WANDERING
THE PAIN IS DEEP AND BRIGHT WITHIN HIS EYES.
HIS STRENGTH IS TAKEN.
THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT. HE LIVES TO SLEEP AS WE TO WAKE
THERE IS NO BALM TO SOOTHE THE ACHING OF HIS FEAR.
WHEN WILL HE WAKEN?

BUT YOU AND I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
LET GO, AND WE WILL FLOW TOGETHER.
SEE THE LION PROUD AND FREE
