I've spent time roaming the plains There's one thing you'll never see on T.V. Even the slightest kick From even the slightest bird Can easily maim the lion And maybe that's just the same for you and me Even the big cats, they don't eat for free And if on the surface, I come off big and strong Nobody could deny that you crippled me Flashing fangs make you think that he is fine But even a king is only king for a little time So even the shortest hour From even the shortest day Can easily maim the lion (in that way) And maybe that's just the same for you and me Even the big cats, they don't eat for free And if on the surface, I come off big and strong Nobody could deny that you crippled me (every little step we take is one step closer to the ground)
