[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
There are [D]those among us
willing to [Bm]get by on anything
Hollow [A]hope of what is coming,
a lifetime [D]dangled by a string
But this ocean dives so deeply
and this [Bm]river runs so wide
I won't be [A]counted one among
them until my [D]soul is satisfied
Brick and brick of buried hunger
keeping [A]all desire dark
And [G]then we are like lion[A]s,
[D]we are tearing it apart
There are those among us lying,
saying [A]nothing is for free
And [G]then we are like [A]lions,
we [D]will not leave until we eat

[Verse 2]
Playing [D]kings and playing peasants,
do [Bm]we get what we are owed?
An eagle [A]comes and talks of failure,
a rabbit [D]offers up its throat
Will they buy even our breathing,
a river [Bm]strangled by a damn?
Less than [A]one percent are taking
so tell me [D]who dries up this land
Is it worse to see no future?
Is [A]it worse to be afraid?
And [G]then we are like [A]lions,
pumping [D]fire in our veins
We are born in perfect hunger,
we [A]are born with perfect need
And [G]then we are like lion[A]s,
we are bar[D]ing all our teeth
[Bm][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
It is coming down the mountain,
fear [Bm]that holds you like the cold
It wants [A]to settle in your footprints,
keep [D]you still from where you're going
All you think you know of losing,
all [Bm]you doubt of innocence
That big sky [A]still hangs above you,
every day [D]just want to quit
There's no light you see to guide
you and [A]it scares you just to say
And [G]then we are like [A]lions,
nothing [D]dares get in our way
See your faithless sails drifting
and [A]your truth just cut apart
And [G]then we are like lion[A]s,
we [D]are golden in our hearts

[Verse 4]
And [G]then we are like lion[A]s,
[D]we are standing on two feet
[G]Hang it on the kitche[A]n
wall for [D]everyone to see
[G]Get out you[A]r banjo so [D]we can sin[G]g
There [D]are winds

[Verse 5]
that wrap and hold me,
there [Bm]are whispers in the trees
I cannot [D]hold all that is sacred,
they are holding onto me
Kiss the years that all are dying,
kiss [Bm]the face that makes you stay
They are [A]in your rhythms walking,
they are show[D]ing you the way
Breath and breath above a sickness
shouting [A]threats upon your life
And [G]then we are like [A]lions,
[F#m]we are[D] fool enough to fight
It will cheat you in the balance,
taking [A]more than left [G]to [A]live[D]
And [G]then we are like [A]lions,
we [D]are strong enough to give
