The men that I want to try to live like They found them a reason to go on They felt they might somehow have a purpose I feel that I'm more - Then I say nothing's wrong Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway And I'm thinking for myself and now I'm not running for you Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway Let the circus run without this clown I'm not running away I'm calm inside whenever I can focus I turn my reflection on and off I hope I might one day be courageous I feel that I'm more - Then I say nothing's wrong Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway And I'm thinking for myself and now I'm not running for you Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway Let the circus run without this clown I'm not running away And I believe I'm coming To fight for what I feel. I shouldn't feel alone, At least I know what I believe is real. I feel that I'm whole - And I say I'm not running Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway And I'm thinking for myself and now I'm not running for you Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway Let the circus run without this clown I'm not running away Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway And I'm thinking for myself and now I'm not running for you Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway Let the circus run, and run, and run, and run, and run, and Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway Hey Lion, Hey Lion Hey Lion I can't believe you anyway
