Lion's Roar

from Forward to Zion by Sam Garrett

lyrics

Well I don’t wanna play no more
I’m tired of your old slave rules
Gotta keep on moving on my way, yeah
Yeah

Oh now it’s time to wake up Lord
I’m roaring like a Lion
Oh how long can you fake it before
You have to throw it on the fire

There’s more to life than what you think
Be careful of their old bad tricks
It’s time to lift it higher
Oh listen to my Mama Gaia

Oh maybe we should go out and play
Oh we were never born to fit in that cage
I guess I’ll have to find a better way
I listen to my heart and hear it saying

Get up rise up and stand strong
Oh don’t you be afraid no no
Get up rise up and stand strong
No don’t you run away no no

Cos I don’t want to play no more
I’m tired of your old slave rules
I’ve got to keep on moving on my way, yeah
Cos I don’t want to play no more
I’m tired of your old slave rules
I’ve got to keep on moving on my way, yeah

They colonized your mind my friend
They’re building an empire
They sold you lies and and now you spend
They keep us all hard wired

The more we give the more they take
Be careful of the games they play
It's time to lift it higher now now
So come and blaze the fire

And get up, rise up and stand strong
Oh don’t you be afraid no no
Get up, rise up and stand strong
So don’t you run away no no

Cos I don’t want to play no more
I’m tired of your old slave rules
I’ve got to keep on moving on my way, yeah yeah
Oh I don’t want to play no more
I’m tired of your old slave rules
I’ve got to keep on moving on my way, yeah yeah

So give me the rainbow and help me to see
We stand for peace and equality
Oh if you give your love now then you shall receive
Give thanks for life and for all it brings oh
Don’t let me down I won’t drown in your sea
Rise up on higher in harmony
I feel, we can find a better way
Oh don’t let them fool you and lead you astray
I say we can find a better way today
Whoah yeah oh
Yeah yeah yeah

Cos I don’t want to play no more
I’m tired of your old slave rules
I’ve got to keep on moving on my way, yeah
No I don’t want to play no more
I’m tired of your old slave rules
I’ve got to keep on moving on my way, I say
Yeah ohh I say
Yeah

We’ve got to chase them out
Well chase them out of town
We’ve got to chase them out
Chase them out of town

It’s time to chase them
Oh come and wake up and
It’s time to stand up strong always, yeah I say yeah, yeah
Whoa Maya, got to rise up strong oh I say
