Lion With a Dark Mane

Lion with a dark mane, bark flames Before I was a monarch I was a caterpillar without any wings Lion with a dark mane, bark flames Pain in the picture outside it rains You don’t get the picture it’s not filling up the frame Lion with a dark mane, bark flames Ready to eat, raw as it came Not a fisaud gnawed out the cage Weight on my shoulders I guess its all on my legs Hills looking steep, look back I can face any challenge given to me Given a cue giving it one hundred and three To get the ball rolling Off the Tee I give it a swing It was at two at the end I came around made it a three Started nonchalant nature made him a freak Off the chart in what position can he be Skills so high now stars gazing at me Wave as I leave Faced and believed if I swim that its safe in the sea Lion with a dark mane, bark flames Before I was a monarch I was a caterpillar without any wings Lion with a dark mane, bark flames Pain in the picture outside it rains You don’t get the picture it’s not filling up the frame
