Tom McBride - Like A Lion lyrics

rate me

I’m real hungry now

like a lion in the thunder and the rain.

I’m committed to the prowl

with a scar on my head and blood on the trail.

I’ve got a flame on my back.

I’ve been coddled by them thieves.

Had my hand out for hours

like a begger on the street.

If you give me your time

maybe i’ll quench some of the thirst.

If you give me your wine

maybe I’ll fall down first

Are they warning signs

through the lights and crowds?

All these heads standing around.

Anyone fooling you?

Are we falling back

like strangers in night

strolling downtown?

I’m real anxious now

like a lion on the Serengeti plain.

So your free and your proud?

Sand runs through your hands,

your tied to the chain.

So you crawled in the back room,

flattered all them thieves.

Had your hand out for hours

like a begger on the street.

If they give you some time

maybe you’ll quench some of the thirst.

If they give you a while

maybe you’ll fall down first.

Are these warning signs

that shine through lights and crowds?

All these heads standing around.

Anyone fooling you?

Are we falling back

like strangers at night

strolling downtown?

Been lost in dreams before,

swam through the deepest seas,

throw me a life-line.

While the rich stand tall

there’s another man walking back

whose a stranger

and still out of luck.<br />
