Lion and Lamb

Lion & Lamb Lion I am what I am I am a man And as straight as I stand All of what I know I do the best I can But… Lamb I am made of similar design Proportioned and fit Created by the Creator Utilized from Adams Rib Lion There is a job that I must do And at times confusion steps in And I’m not sure on which ones to choose But right or wrong I had to make a move Lamb I have things to do too Bearing a creation of our lives just to name a few Responsible for a healthy happy home The center of the earth is where my base is from Lion Lamb may not think that I don’t remember About the way she would lay on me, the lion, together I’m not trying to give her frost It’s just that I am busy being at a lost Lamb It’s not that I don’t appreciate all for me he does In fact I love it all day craving for more But his stranger statuesque halts me at the door Lion I’d let her in all the way if I could But all I need her to do is give me some time And all the way I promise I would I’ll be all hers and she’ll be all mine Lamb Time Time runs on time all the time Who what where and how you spend is what makes the difference Time is what it’s all about but time also runs out Lion That is why I have to do what I have to do Make it what it is for me and you And all the pleading won’t help the situation It only adds fire to my frustration Lamb I am still here right alongside of you I am struggling but trying too Hanging on for dear life While kicking fiercely to get through Lion / Lamb I do not know all there is to know But I love you Lamb You’re in the deepest part of my soul Lion, by you I am inflamed I love you too Similarities of us yet opposite of the same
