Wounded Lion

It was raw, raw, raw
Let's not leave it at that
I want to paint a picture in your mind
Just you dream of a winter
Singing spirituals with sharks
Love how you taught me to laugh
Now I say a prayer for your spark
It's never too late to change

There's a bluebird in your heart
Alone, caged and waiting
She's ready to sing
But you're afraid to let her fly

They're watching my six
On journeys to family
Her own book of miracles
And his snake dagger tattoo
Their proud altar shining
So magnificent, so splendid
Let me levitate towards her kindness
And his love, fearless and true

There's a bluebird in your heart
Alone, caged and waiting
She's ready to sing
But you're afraid to let her fly

Wounded lion
You're still so fierce and beautiful
Lit up by the fireworks
And the starlight and the rain
Come out catching lightning
On the other side of midnight
We're mirroring the calm of the river
Before the tides rage
