The Lion's Roar Lyrics - First Aid Kit

Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things 

She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook 

The fact that they've been blindly deceived 

By those who preach and pray and teach 

But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter 

But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you 

About the way your world can alter 

And oh how you try to command it all still 

Every single time it all shifts one way or the other

HOT SONG: Charlie Puth – 'I Warned Myself' - LYRICS 

And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you 

And the lion's roar, the lion's roar 

Has me evading and hollering for you 

And I never really knew what to do 

Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable 

That I could read you just like a book 

For now I can only guess what's coming next 

By examining your timid smile 

And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round 

And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you 

And the lion's roar, the lion's roar 

Has me seeking out and searching for you 

And I never really knew what to do 

Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill 

I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing 

And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you 

That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea 

And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me 

And the lion's roar, the lion's roar 

Is something that I have heard before 

A children's tale, the lonesome wail of a lion's roar
