lyrics

THE LION
George Katsaris / Darden Smith

There’s lion down inside me
The lion walked beside me
Afghanistan combat, that’s where I’ve been
He was my protector
But ever since we came back here
I’ve got get better so I can take care of him

You can call me the king of the beasts
The king of the beast in me

Seventeen years ago
Fifteen years old
The first time I ever heard the lion roar
It was in the power
Of the falling tower
And I knew that I would never be the same no more

You can call me the king of the beasts
The king of the beast in me
Even in the chaos I knew I could always be
The king of the beast in me

And together we’re gonna climb
Up to the mountain high
And see it was all worth fighting for
And high on the mountain let the lion roar

You can call me the king of the beasts
The king of the beast in me
And finally we will both be at peace
The king of the beast in me
