I Am The Lion

"I am the Lion"

There was a flood
and many poor men
were killed.
And that is why our house
is built on the top
of a hill.

The plains are like a friend,
why can't we live on them?
And if a flood should come,
why can't we run?
I am the lion,
bellowing
out in the night.

We had a cow,
I left it alone to graze.
And walked to the stream
and when I returned,
it was stolen away.
But now the cow is gone
and we don't need a farm.
We have not one thing
they would steal away.

I am the lion
bellowing
out at the night.
I am the lion
bellowing out at the night.
I am......the lion.
