lyrics

{Verse 1}
Dancing in the livingroom
No more than four years old
I saw you smiling with your eyes
You were proud that's how I know
Told me if I cry, doesn't make me weak
And that I could have my pride
But to hold it humbly

{Pre-Hook}
And from across the universe
Somehow this came to be
We were constellation's dust
But always destiny
Like the strength of water
Gently molding me
Didn't raise a little girl
You chose to raise a queen

{Chorus}
Cus you are, my
Lion, I'll
Take your pride and
I'll fight on
The rolling sound of
Your wisdom
Shines bright like a
Ball a sun
So shine on

(you are, you are my, you are my LION)
Lion
(you are, you are my, you are my LION)

{Verse 2}
I never had the loudest voice
But you always heard me speak
You put me on your shoulders
To see the possibility
Told me if I tried
Nothing's out of reach
And the only worthy fight
Is fighting for my dreams

{Pre-Hook}
And from across the universe
Somehow this came to be
We were constellation's dust
But always destiny
Like the strength of water
Gently molding me
Didn't raise a little girl
You chose to raise a queen

{Chorus}
Cus you are, my
Lion, I'll
Take your pride and
I'll fight on
The rolling sound of
Your wisdom
Shines bright like a
Ball a sun
So shine on

(you are, you are my, you are my LION)
Lion
(you are, you are my, you are my LION)

{Bridge}
You are my lion
I'll take your pride
And I'll fight on
The rolling sound
Your wisdom
Shines Bright, Oh

(Ohh, Ooh)
C'mon

{Chorus}
Cus you are, my
Lion, I'll
Take your pride and
I'll fight on
The rolling sound of
Your wisdom
Shines bright like a
Ball a sun
So shine on

Lionel, Lionel
(you are my Lion)
