I’m a lion

To gentle to fit in

And I keep trying

To show them what’s within

They keep saying

That I’m doing it all wrong

And I know the feeling of trying to belong

Is being fierce the only way to be strong

Do I have to roar

To get any attention

Is being quiet even an option

Is there room in this world

For a tender hearted lion

I’m a friend

To the ones in need

Doesn’t depend

On what you look like next to me

And we can talk

About the world under the stars

Do you think the universe has edges

And if it does would we fall off

Is being fierce the only way to be strong

Do I have to roar

To get any attention

Is being quiet even an option

Is there room in this world

For a tender hearted lion

There’s something happening in me tonight

It feels like I’m finally doing something right

I’m doing something right

I am proud

Of how far I’ve come

I’m nothing loud

But I’m equally as fun

And they can choose to like me or not

But with or without them

I’m stronger than I thought

Is being fierce the only way to be strong

Do I have to roar

To get any attention

Is being quiet even an option

Is there room in this world

For a tender hearted lion
