Key: F# major•
Verse 1
F#
There are those among us
D#m
willing to get by on anything
C#
Hollow hope of what is coming,
F#
a lifetime dangled by a string
But this ocean dives so deeply
D#m
and this river runs so wide
C#
I won't be counted one among
F#
them until my soul is satisfied
Brick and brick of buried hunger
C#
keeping all desire dark
B
C#
And then we are like lion s,
F#
we are tear ing it apart
There are those among us lying,
C#
saying nothing is for free
B
C#
And then we are like lion s,
F#
we will not leave until we eat
Verse 2
F#
Playing kings and playing peasants,
D#m
do we get what we are owed?
C#
An eagle comes and talks of failure,
F#
a rabbit offers up its throat
Will they buy even our breathing,
D#m
a river strangled by a damn?
C#
Less than one percent are taking
F#
so tell me who dries up this land
Is it worse to see no future?
C#
Is it worse to be afraid?
B
C#
And then we are like lions,
F#
pumping fire in our veins
We are born in perfect hunger,
C#
we are born with perfect need
B
C#
And then we are like lion s,
F#
we are bar ing all our teeth
D#m
C#
Verse 3
F#
It is coming down the mountain,
D#m
fear that holds you like the cold
C#
It wants to settle in your footprints,
F#
keep you still from where you're going
All you think you know of losing,
D#m
all you doubt of innocence
C#
That big sky still hangs above you,
F#
every day just want to quit
There's no light you see to guide
C#
you and it scares you just to say
B
C#
And then we are like lions,
F#
nothing dares get in our way
See your faithless sails drifting
C#
and your truth just cut apart
B
C#
And then we are like lion s,
F#
we are golden in our hearts
Verse 4
B
C#
And then we are like lion s,
F#
we are standing on two feet
B
C#
Hang it on the kit chen
F#
wall for everyone to see
B
C#
F#
B
Get out your banjo so we can sing
F#
There are winds
Verse 5
that wrap and hold me,
D#m
there are whis pers in the trees
F#
I cannot hold all that is sacred,
they are holding onto me
Kiss the years that all are dying,
D#m
kiss the face that makes you stay
C#
They are in your rhythms walking,
F#
they are show ing you the way
Breath and breath above a sickness
C#
shouting threats upon your life
B
C#
And then we are like lions,
A#m
F#
we are fool enough to fight
It will cheat you in the balance,
C#
B
C#
F#
taking more than left to live
B
C#
And then we are like lions,
F#
we are strong enough to give
