This Lion This Time Lyrics - Magic Time - Van Morrison

The lion this time again 

He's in the circus in a cage 

He's trying to break out of the frame 

The lion this time 

He hears that same old sad refrain 

But they can't hold him with no chain 

And they just can't denounce his claim 

The lion again 

And he's trying to get free 

He knows that something's bothering me 

That I'm not too blind to see 

The lion again 

Oh, the love that's in his soul 

Is trying to get out you know 

If only you could hear it roar 

The lion again this time

They couldn't take away his throne 

He knows that he must stand alone 

If need be, have a heart of stone 

The lion again 

The lion this time again 

He's in the circus in a cage 

No wonder that he's in a rage 

The lion again 

And he's trying to get free 

And he knows that something's bothering me 

Oh, but I'm not too blind to see 

The lion this time 

The longing that's in his soul 

Is trying to get out you know 

Only you could hear it roar 

For the lion this time 

They couldn't take away his throne 

He knows that he must stand alone 

If need be have a heart of stone 

The lion again 

The lion again this time 

He's in the circus in a cage 

No wonder that he's in a rage 

The lion this time 

The lion this time again 

He's in the circus in a cage 

No wonder that he's not the same 

The lion again 

The lion this time, the lion this time 

The lion this time, the lion this time 

The lion this time, the lion this time 

The lion this time, the lion this time 

The lion this time
