Lions' Eye

i see a tear in the lion's eye
i see a king who's waiting to die
not because he's 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 the top
baskin' in the sun
dreamin' of a wild country
he's been dreamin's so long
for his freedom gone

something in that lion's eye
a sort of silent cry
makes me wonder
domething in that lion's eye
he'd rather fight then 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
blowin' thru his fur collar
he'd been dreamin' so long
for his freedom gone

those days are gone now he'a all alone
and 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
