Center of a city
Such a hostile territory
Overdose of learning
Rules of pride and predatory

And there you were, patient and deadly
And comfortable, thinking you could be
Better and better, instinct incredible
And I believed

Lioness,
Your trainers say you've lost your confidence
Know I believe in you

And you were admired
Beast of strength and endless beauty
And they came to find you
With the promise of sanctuary
Saw that you could be
Pitiful, spending your days in
A spectacle of circles and cages
Over and over, till no pride was left at all
And I admit,

Lioness,
Your trainers say you've lost your confidence,
That you're diseased and delicate,
And making mistakes
But Lioness, know I believe in you

So I'll try to wait
Till they turn away
And I will let you go
So I'll try to wait
Till they turn away
And let you go

Lioness,
Your trainers say you've lost your confidence
That you're diseased and delicate
And making mistakes
But Lioness, know I believe in you
