[Verse 1]

Behind these rusty bars

Lies a dethroned king

A beast with claws and scars

Its mane looks regal but thin

[Pre-Chorus]

Inside my heart

There's a lion asleep

Come wake it up

We defy and feed it

As long as I’m stuck

I've got no room to breathe

[Chorus]

Wake me up

Wake me up

Inside my heart

There's a lion asleep

[Verse 2]

In this old narrow lane

With newspapers for a bed

Dosses down a decayed man

He used to change the world

But now there's no fight

He could win

[Pre-Chorus]

Inside my heart

There's a lion asleep

Come wake it up

We defy and feed it

As long as I’m stuck

I've got no room to breathe

[Chorus]

Wake me up, up, up

Wake me up, up, up

Wake me up

And let it out

Wake me up, up, up

Wake me up, up, up

Inside my heart

There's a lion asleep

Inside my heart

I roar and I shout

Inside my heart

I believe

Ohohohoh ohohoh ohohoh

Inside my heart

I roar and I shout

Inside my heart

I believe

Ohohohoh ohohoh ohohoh

Wake me up

Wake me up, up, up

Wake me up, up, up

Wake me up

And let it out

Wake me up, up, up

Wake me up, up, up

Inside my heart

There's a lion alseep

Inside my heart

There's a lion asleep

Inside my heart

There's a lion asleep
