No lyrics
 
[Verse 1]
 
C/G
There are those among us willing
       Am
To get by on anything
        G
Hollow hope of what is coming
            C/G
A lifetime dangled by a string
 
C/G
But this ocean dives so deeply
         Am
And this river runs so wide
            G
I won't be counted one among them
         C/G
Until my soul is satisfied
 
C/G
Brick and brick of buried hunger
        Am
Keeping all desire dark
     G
And then we are like lions
       C/G
We are tearing it apart
 
C/G
There are those among us lying
       Am
Saying nothing is for free
     G
And then we are like lions
            C/G
And we will not leave until we eat
 
C/G
Playing kings and playing peasants
      Am
Do we get what we are owed
          G
An eagle comes and talks of failure
         C/G
A rabbit offers up its throat
 
C/G
Will they buy even our breathing
        Am
A river strangled by a dam
           G
Less than one percent are taken
           C/G
So tell me who dries up this land
 
C/G
Is it worse to see no future
      Am
Is it worse to be afraid
    G
And then we are like lions
        C/G
Pumping fire in our veins
 
       C/G
We are born with a perfect hunger
       G
We are born with a perfect need
    F
And then we are like lions
          C/G
And we are bearing all our teeth
 
[Interlude]
 
C/G Am G C/G
 
[Verse 2]
 
C/G
It is coming down the mountain
          Am
Fear that hoards you like a cold
             G
It wants to settle in your footprints
          C/G
Keep you still from where you're going
 
C/G
Aw, you think you know of losing
        Am
Aw, you doubt of innocence
         G
That big sky still hangs above you
       C/G
Every day just wants to quit
 
           C/G
There's no light you see to guide you
        G
And it scares you just the same
     F               G
And then we are like lions
        C/G
Nothing dares get in our way
 
         C/G
See your faithless sails drifting
         G
And your truth just cut apart
    F                G
And then we are like lions
       C/G
We are golden in our hearts
 
C/G
And then we are like lions
G
We are standing on two feet
C/G            G
Hanging on the kitchen wall
F
For everyone to see
C/G
Get out your banjo
          F
So we can sing
 
C/G
There are winds that wrap and hold me
          Am
There are whispers in the trees
         G
I cannot hold all that is sacred
         C/G
They are holding onto me
 
C/G
Kiss the years that all are dying
         Am
Kiss the face that makes you stay
         G
They are in your rhythms walking
         C/G
They are showing you the way
 
C/G
Breath and breath above a sickness
         G
Shouting threats upon your life
    F                 G
And then we are like lions
       C/G
We are fool enough to fight
 
C/G
It will cheat you in the balance
       G
Taking more than left to live
     F               G
And then we are like lions
        C/G
We are strong enough to give
 
    F                G
And then we are like lions
       C/G
We are strong enough to give
