Lion

I’m a lion
To gentle to fit in
And I keep trying
To show them what’s within
They keep saying
That I’m doing it all wrong
And I know the feeling of trying to belong

Is being fierce the only way to be strong
Do I have to roar
To get any attention
Is being quiet even an option
Is there room in this world
For a tender hearted lion

I’m a friend
To the ones in need
Doesn’t depend
On what you look like next to me
And we can talk
About the world under the stars
Do you think the universe has edges
And if it does would we fall off

Is being fierce the only way to be strong
Do I have to roar
To get any attention
Is being quiet even an option
Is there room in this world
For a tender hearted lion

There’s something happening in me tonight
It feels like I’m finally doing something right
I’m doing something right

I am proud
Of how far I’ve come
I’m nothing loud
But I’m equally as fun
And they can choose to like me or not
But with or without them
I’m stronger than I thought

Is being fierce the only way to be strong
Do I have to roar
To get any attention
Is being quiet even an option
Is there room in this world
For a tender hearted lion
