Christian the Lion Songtext
von Pentangle

This is the story of Christian the lion
Lord had a cage and so far from his home
Bought by a big store to be sold as a plaything
Someone will surely take you and make you their own


Goodbye bright city, the journey′s beginning
Bound for the country and a new place to stay
You're leaving what you know best
But your friends are still with you
What will the future hold you?
Who is there to say?

No longer alone now is Christian the lion
He′s part of a pride in a small family
But the trials are not over, they're only beginning
Dangers there are before him in his liberty

The story is not over of the Christian the lion
Sold as a toy with no life of his own
And it's easy to see he was meant to be free
There′s no bars to hold him in his native land
