Lion's Eye Songtext
von Return

I see a tear in the lion′s eye
I see a king who's waiting to die
Not because he is old
He′s stuck inside a steel jungle
He's climbing up to the highest rock
Don't matter why, he′s got to be on top
Basking in the sun
Dreaming of a wild country

(Whoa) He′s been dreaming so long
(Whoa) For his freedom gone
Whoa, whoa

Something in that lion's eye
A sort of silent cry
Makes me wonder
Something in that lion′s eye
He'd rather fight than die
Makes me wonder


There was a time when he had to fight
A time to kill just to stay alive
He′d run with the wind
Blowing through his fur collar

(Whoa) He's been dreaming so long
(Whoa) For his freedom gone
Whoa, whoa

Something in that lion′s eye
A sort of silent cry
Makes me wonder
Something in that lion's eye
He'd rather fight than die
Makes me wonder

Those days are gone and he′s all alone
All he′s got is a stone cold home
He's got no place to go
Stuck inside a steel jungle

I see a tear in the lion′s eye
I see a king who's waiting to die
He′s climbing up to the highest rock
Don't matter why, he′s got to be on top, yeah


(Whoa) He's been dreaming so long
(Whoa) For his freedom gone
Whoa, whoa

Something in that lion's eye
A sort of silent cry

Makes me wonder why
Something in that lion′s eye
He′d rather fight than die
Makes me wonder why (Lion's eye)
Something in that lion′s eye
A sort of silent cry
Makes me wonder why
Something in that lion's eye
He′d rather fight than die
And it makes me wonder why (Lion's eye)

Lion′s eye
