First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar Lyrics
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlookThe fact that they've been blindly deceivedBy those who preach and pray and teachBut she falls short and the night explodes in laughterBut don't you come here and say I didn't warn youAbout the way your world can alterAnd oh how you try to command it all stillEvery single time it all shifts one way or the otherAnd I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are youAnd the lion's roar, the lion's roarHas me evading and hollering for youAnd I never really knew what to doWell I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictableThat I could read you just like a bookFor now I can only guess what's coming nextBy examining your timid smileAnd the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'roundAnd I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are youAnd the lion's roar, the lion's roarHas me seeking out and searching for youAnd I never really knew what to doSometimes I wish I could find my rosemary hillI'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd singAnd every once in a while I'd sing a song for youThat would rise above the mountains and the stars and the seaAnd if I wanted it to it would lead you back to meAnd the lion's roar, the lion's roarIs something that I have heard beforeA children's tale, the lonesome wail of a lion's roar
