The Lion’s Share

[Verse 1]
Grand slam
Your moment's at hand
The day holds a costly bargain
Lost lamb asking the lion's share

[Verse 2]
Homespun
A prodigal son
Comes begging a humble pardon
But no one rises to hear his prayer

[Verse 3]
Lone star
You've wandered so far
And long in the unfamiliar
That now you travel a map unknown

[Verse 4]
Star bright
A constant delight
To those in the dark and still your
Birthright's to shine in the night alone

[Chorus]
Living in the shadows of the things that might have been
Torn between the blessing and the curse
You may stop the hunger but you'll never slake the thirst
For the nectar you remember but you'll never taste again

[Verse 5]
Nonesuch
Your Midas' touch
Has gilded your heart and left you
So much playing the prince of clowns

[Verse 6]
Hell-bent
Empty and spent
Just look what your gamble's got you
Exile far from the sacred grounds

[Chorus]
And living in the shadows of the things that might have been
Torn between the blessing and the curse
You may stop the hunger but you'll never slake the thirst
For the nectar you remember but you'll never taste again

[Verse 1]
Grand slam
Your moment's at hand
The day holds a costly bargain
Lost lamb asking the lion's share
