The Lion Roars
by Paul Smith

Album: Back to Who I Am

I know you know you're the sheep of His pasture
But you stray from the Shepherd's eyes
So convinced you're exempt from temptation
There's more danger than you realize
And you think that it's not gonna matter
If you wander too far from home
You say, after all it's your nature
To follow your will to roam

Oh, you have drifted before without stumbling
Think you're holding some bright lucky charm
So you're strong enough to hold your own ground
When the fight starts, you'll never be harmed
But if sheep are as strong as you're saying
Then what is a Shepherd for?
Oh, He know what goes on
When His sheep are exposed to the lion's roar

Oh, the lion roars
Seeking his prey
Yeah, the lion roars
Who will he devour today?
The lion roars
Raging while temptation wars
Be careful to never ignore
When the lion roars

Better eat what is served at your table
Drink the water drawn from your own well
Your desire is a ploy of the lion
To weave your heart under his spell
Oh, you think you're so swift and surefooted
But in the shadows, behind every door
Beware of what's there
And be ready to run when the lion roars

Oh, the lion roars
Seeking his prey
Yeah, the lion roars
Who will he devour today?
The lion roars
Raging while temptation wars
Be careful to never ignore
When the lion roars

And the strengths
That you leave unguarded
Will be twice as weak as before
Be careful to never ignore
When the lion roars

Oh, the lion roars
Seeking his prey
Yeah, the lion roars
Who will he devour today?
The lion roars
Raging while temptation wars
Be careful to never ignore
When the lion roars

And the strengths
That you leave unguarded
Will be twice as weak as before
Be careful to never ignore
When the lion roars

Oh, you just can't ignore
When the lion roars
You gotta be ready
Be ready to run
When the lion roars
You just can't ignore
Mmm, you can't ignore
