I wonder if
others are afraid of me
I hear
the roar of the wild
I see
the forest dry and wide
I want to
conquer and rule with pride
I am a lion
I am a lion
I
pretend I'm sleeping all night
I feel the
power, fierce and bright
I hold the
strength of my lion heart
I worry not,
because I am the king of the jungle
I cry
for those I must defend
I am a lion
I am a lion
I
understand the call of my group
I say
"united we can win"
I dream of
a free and fair kingdom
I try to
lead with wisdom and care
I hope for
peace in every land of my group
I am a lion
I am a lion
