We're Lions, You And I

John Lucas


Your warmth comes in the early spring
With hope like snow still clinging to the ground
And miracles, they rise up all around
All for you, everything is made new

And we will jump for joy through the dewy soil
As you lay me down in peace
In the fields where I've toiled
And we will rise with barefooted abandon
And I will chase the depths of your heart
Oh the depths of your heart

And we will laugh as we run without tiring
A lion and a boy who both can't stop smiling
And we will bound mountains with a single leap
As you shout your promises
That you always keep

And we open up our mouths, our mouths to sing
But what echoes is just one mighty roar
And you delight more than ever before
For I'm not the boy I was
Anymore

We're lions, we're lions
You and I

And I don't need a looking glass
Or the praise of men, for it will pass
I know the roar now inside my chest
I claim this love, you can have the rest

We're lions, we're lions
You and I
