Linda Allen - Lions Lyrics
I was sleeping like a lamb that nightWhen a cold hand covered my mouthI couldn't shout as they held me tightLike a sheep to the slaughter, they dragged me outI knew what they would do to meI cried, as they beat me that dayI'd be sold like a cord of woodTo be a bride to a man in a far-off placeThen came the lions, then came the lionsThen came the lions, then came the lionsWith a roar like thunder that shook the groundLike a circle of grace they gathered 'roundI once was lost but now I'm foundThen came the lions, then came the lionsThen came the lions, then came the lionsI'll never know how it happened that wayWhen the lions took me as their ownI only know that the men ran awayAnd the lions kept watch 'til my family came to take me homethen they slipped back into the jungle, like a gift they left me thereI would have liked to tell them "Thank you", I was so scared, I did not dareGod bless the lions, God bless the lions (2x)With a roar like thunder that shook the groundLike a circle of grace they gathered 'roundI once was lost but now I'm foundGod bless the lions, God bless the lionsWhen I am older I know what I'll doI've been chosen by lions, you seeI will fight those who bargain in fleshSo any child that is stolen can again be freeMake me a lion, make me a lion (2x)With a roar like thunder that shakes the groundI'll free the ones who once were boundI once was lost but now I'm foundMake me a lion, Make me a lion
