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