Oh if only
I could be a lion
For just one day
Fierce and brave and strong
At the top because its where I belong
A king, a warrior, a guardian
A beast, a monster, a nightmare
Oh, if only
I could be a lion
For just one day
And be the same colors as the sun
And be fierce and magnificent
And hear myself for miles and miles
Oh, how wonderful
To be a lion
For just one day
