The Pride

The lion's thunderous roar breaks the dawn As creatures begin to stir on the plains To the water's edge they soon will be drawn To quench their thirst, and their life to sustain Lionesses gather to ambush prey In the tall grass, in silence they remain Suddenly the attack is underway As frightened creatures scatter far and wide An zebra's caught, the first meal of the day Over these plains the king of beasts presides And his mighty roar echoes through the pride
