The Lion's Tale

Hear the Lion roar above the rapids Hear that Lion roar; But what if this Lion would roar no more? And nothing was left for him to roar for. His home is gone; His land been taken; His children ran; His life forsaken; And though the Lion may roar above the rapids; That will be the last we’ll see For if you can not be happy then why bother being free?
