Prideland

Morning breaks on the ancient plain

Roars and yawns score the morning rain

And the lions hunt and the young cubs play

As another day begins

Mothers watch with suspicious eye

At the parade of life passing by

And a distant growl hides a tortured cry

As the hunger closes in

On the prideland

On the prideland

The lion king and the lioness

Defend their kingdom against the best

Their pride's survival's the only test

And all the proof their life demands

Stalking noiseless in search of prey

Tooth and nail till the light of day

Sons and fathers fight side by side

As the fittest take their stand

On the prideland

On the prideland

And time was

When the beasts of the wild ran free

And time was

When they lived lives of dignity

Before the sound of gunfire and thunder filled the land

And the generations would thrive as it was planned

Before the sound of gunfire and thunder filled the land

And the generations would thrive as it was planned

Sun sinks so low on the killing field

By the sunrise all wounds have healed

In the silence all nature yields

To the way it's meant to be

Tomorrow life takes another turn

Around each corner we live and learn

From the pride of lions we take our cues

In the art of being free

On the prideland

On the prideland

On the prideland

On the prideland
