Slams his door won’t let me in
Turns his back the tears begin
He’s a lion-hearted lamb
He sticks to his plan
His world is shadows but the sun rests in his hand
Life’s taught him to run when he’s scared, to put on a brave face
So put on a brave face he does but it shatters him inside and the shadows keep growing ’till they shut out the light
Forever.

Why you gotta act so strong? Even the moon has a few scars.
But he’s a lion-hearted lamb.

So he tries to fight puts up his best fight but when they knock him down he wishes he would die
But I, I won’t let him go
I’ll smash down the door force him to come back because I know
I know
I know he’s brave and I know he’s strong
I know he’s good and his truth, his beauty shines through it all
That’s all I know on earth, and all I need to know.
But no.
He won’t pay heed to the truth of my words
Shuts them out he’s so. So stubborn.
All he knows is that he’s a lion-hearted lamb
All he needs to know is that God has a plan,
That when they push him around and the blood’s running down his face
God’s ready to catch him just in case.

He’s a lion-hearted lamb

Slams his door won’t let me in
Turns his back the tears begin
I gasp for breath and reach for the sky
Only way I reach you, is when I pray and cry
Tell me your troubles and I’ll help you through
Trust in me; I was made to guide you
To a land where there are no shadows, just stars and the Sun
Your smile is the Moon and when you believe in me, your war’s won.
