"LION IN WINTER"

Verse 1:
Never thought I'd see the day,
With still no Golden Age,
And the nights now they seem so cold.
Feel like I'm growin' old,
And need someplace to hide.
And when I feel I might just fade away
Into another page
Of insignificant history,
I hear You telling me
That somewhere inside
There's a …
Chorus 1
Lion in winter awakening,
Lion in winter waiting for the spring.
With no fear of danger in what tomorrow brings.
Lion in winter ready for the spring.
Lion in winter ready for the spring.
Like a lion in winter, inside still lives a King.
Verse 2
"Though the world is closing in,
There are no chains you'll find
My love is not strong enough to break,
No matter how long it takes
Or how far you go.
Faith, hope & love will always win,
And I'll be by your side
To keep your poor heart brave,
And saving every life you can save
'Til the day you'll know, you'll know
You are a …
Chorus 2
Lion in winter awakening,
Lion in winter waiting for the spring.
With no fear of danger in what tomorrow brings.
Lion in winter ready for the spring.
Like a lion in winter, inside still lives a King."

Bridge 1
So don't ever think it's over
While there's life under the sun.
Don't ever feel it's over,
'Cause you've just begun.
Don't ever say it's over.
It's when you think you've lost
That you find you've really won.
Lead break: -- 6 times
Bridge 2
Don't think it's over
While there's life under the sun.
Don't ever feel it's over,
'Cause you've just begun.
Don't ever say it's over.
It's when you think you've lost it all
That you find you've really won.-
You've really won, yeah!
