trusting lions

We can smell it now and we tighten our legs
That bitter scent that demands our fear
every steap in the darkness takes
Is another steap less before it's here.


The beast that stalks the young and old
The heart of stone inside
It festoons a coat of gleaming gold
Lives souly for the pride.


It slows before our huddled forms
it will snarl just to say
i could bring you worse than harm
There's no chance you'd get away.


All the fear they hover over us
They dont come into the light
Every breath we take is a hush
We await the painful bite.

But then it's odd
The strangest one
They slowly come out of the fog
That pain it never comes.

Who are you beast?
Who indeed? This ones very small
infact it look to be the very least
And mean no harm at all.


We feel no fear
So up we stand
Hearts unsure but upward ears
Old feelings stir now that they're here.


Just a boy a human boy alone as one can be
standing up beside the cage
eyes full of love instead of his fathers rage
we understand and make no sound the boy can not be seen


He reaches forword slowly very carefully
Then takes a hold of iron bar
And pulls onen wide and far
The day boy trusted lions was the day he set us free.
