The Lion This Time (Van Morrison)

The lion this time again He's in the circus in a cage He's trying to break out of the frame The lion this time He hears that same old sad refrain But they can't hold him with no chain And they just can't denounce his claim The lion again And he's trying to get free He knows that something's bothering me That I'm not too blind to see The lion again Oh, the love that's in his soul Is trying to get out you know If only you could hear it roar The lion again this time They couldn't take away his throne He knows that he must stand alone If need be, have a heart of stone The lion again The lion this time again He's in the circus in a cage No wonder that he's in a rage The lion again And he's trying to get free And he knows that something's bothering me Oh, but I'm not too blind to see The lion this time The longing that's in his soul Is trying to get out you know Only you could hear it roar For the lion this time They couldn't take away his throne He knows that he must stand alone If need be have a heart of stone The lion again The lion again this time He's in the circus in a cage No wonder that he's in a rage The lion this time The lion this time again He's in the circus in a cage No wonder that he's not the same The lion again The lion this time, the lion this time The lion this time, the lion this time The lion this time, the lion this time The lion this time, the lion this time The lion this time
