My Lion Sleeps Tonight

The distant country
My share of the estate
The poison

My stomach
Is filled with
Pig pods

No longer worthy
To be called your son

But Pappa runs to me

And in his arms
Around me he does throw
I been
Given
The best robe

Rings and sandals
For my bloody feet

Bring on the fatted calf
And let all have a feast
This son of mine
Once was dead
But now is alive again

My

Lion

Sleeps

Tonight

As a dog returns
To his vomit
So I have run

I have set my affection on thee
The only one and

I turn my eyes from all
The worthless things and

I have set my affection on thee
The only one and oh

This son is done

The poison has been drained
