Neil Diamond - I Am The Lion lyrics

There was a flood, and many poor men were killed.

And that is why our house is built on the top of a hill.

The plains are like a friend, why can't we live on them?

And if a flood should come, why can't we run?

I am the lion

bellowing out in the night.

We had a cow

I left it alone to graze.

And walked to the stream

and when I returned, it was stolen away.

But now the cow is gone and we don't need a farm.

We have not one thing they

would steal away.

I am the lion

bellowing out at the night.

I am the lion

bellowing out at the night.

I am

the lion.
