Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been waiting on you
You coming?
[Verse 2]
Hey there, Mr. Lion
Why you roar so big, why so loud?
Hey there, Mr. Lion
Don't you cry sometimes, why so proud?
[Verse 3]
When you are alone, do you know how to be?
Loneliness lays at your throne, I know
A king spends most days all alone by the sea
Drifting and roaming the shores
[Verse 4]
So hey there, Mr. Lion
Why you seem so sad, why run out?
Kill anything that laughs at you
But when love came to, you run south
[Verse 5]
You say that love has nowhere to go
Takes its time, you know, surely you go slow
But I believe the biggest mistake is the risk that you take
Thinkin' she'll always stay
What if you're too late?
[Verse 6]
When you are alone, do you know how to be?
When loneliness lays at your throne, I know
A king spends most days all alone by the sea
Drifting and roaming the shores
[Verse 7]
I know you're afraid to be
Someone easy and unsure but
The things that I have to show you
Goes beyond the pride of your own, so
Listen to what love shows you
From this view, I can see you're scared too
It takes courage to fall, feels so new
There's no wins and doubts, no shortcut route to love
Love, love, love
[Verse 8]
Wishing on the biggest of stars
For you to return to who you are
Cast the net and capture the sky in a jar
Put your claws away, care for your heart
[Verse 9]
I see the moon shine, but
I see a star I like
Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion
I see the bright light, but
There's a falling star I like
Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion
I see the moon shine, but
I see a star I like
Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion
I see the bright light, but
Catching a falling star I like
Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion
I see the moon shine, but
I see a star I like
Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion
