Lion

Behind these rusty bars
Lies a dethroned king
A beast with claws and scars
Its mane looks regal but thin

Inside my heart there's a lion asleep
Come wake it up, we defy it and feed it
As long as I'm stuck I've got no room to breathe

Wake me up
Wake me up
Inside my heart there's a lion asleep

In this old narrow lane
With newspapers for a bed
Ashes down and decay men
He used to chase but when I smell fight he could win

Inside my heart there's a lion asleep
Come wake it up, we defy it and feed it
As long as I'm stuck I've got no room to breathe

Wake me up, up, up
Wake me up, up, up
Wake me up

Let it out
Wake me up, up, up
Wake me up, up, up

Inside my heart there's a lion asleep

Inside my heart I roar and I shout
Inside my heart I believe

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Inside my heart I roar and I shout
Inside my heart I believe

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Wake me up
Wake me up, up, up
Wake me up, up, up
Wake me up

Let it out
Wake me up, up, up
Wake me up, up, up

Inside my heart there's a lion asleep
Inside my heart there's a lion asleep
Inside my heart there's a lion asleep
