I'll be here in the grasslands
Staring at the stars
Waiting for the lion to come
I'll be here, I'll be here
I'll be here waiting for the lion to come
Every night when I go to sleep
I'll be staring at you looking for pieces of meat
But to my dismay, and lucky for you
You look just like your mama do
It's enough for me just to hold you near
So I'll be here, I'll be here
I'll be here in the grasslands
Staring at the stars
Waiting for the lion to come
Every night, gonna sing you a song
Teach you everything I know and that shouldn't take long
Keep you full, keep you safe and warm
Never let you get caught out in a storm
I'll hold you close until the sky is clear
And I'll be here, I'll be here
I'll be here in the grasslands
Staring at the stars
Waiting for the lion to come
I'll be here, I'll be here
I'll be here waiting for the lion to come
I'll be here (I'll be here)
In the grasslands (ah)
Just staring at the stars
Waiting for the lion to come
I'll be here, I'll be here
Yeah I'll be here waiting for the lion to come
Just staring at the stars, waiting for the lion to come
