Morning breaks on the ancient plain
Roars and yawns score the morning rain
And the lions hunt and the young cubs play
As another day begins
Mothers watch with suspicious eye
At the parade of life passing by
And a distant growl hides a tortured cry
As the hunger closes in
On the prideland
On the prideland
The lion king and the lioness
Defend their kingdom against the best
Their pride's survival's the only test
And all the proof their life demands
Stalking noiseless in search of prey
Tooth and nail till the light of day
Sons and fathers fight side by side
As the fittest take their stand
On the prideland
BRIDGE
And time was
When the beasts of the wild ran free
And time was
When they kived lives of dignity
Before the sound of gunfire and thunder filled the land
And the generations would thrive as it was planned
(Solo)
Before the sound of gunfire and thunder filled the land
And the generations would thrive as it was planned
Sun skinks low on the killing field
By the sunrise all wounds have healed
In the silence all nature yields
To the way it's meant to be
Tomorrow life takes another turn
Around each corner we live an learn
From the prid of lions we take our crues
In the art of being free
On the prideland
