Adjust my weary bones
And carry me away
The air in the dust
Takes my place

A fatherless son
Guided by one
She takes off her veil
Tear-drops hail

And mother don't you cry
And mother don't you cry
Wipe those tears from your eyes

And father don't you lie
And father don't you lie
Watch me as I enter the sky

You've opened up the lions heart
Been inside of me right from the start
I'm surprised we didn't end up in jail
We kind of went outside of the rails

We've done this shit all on our own
So far from you and far from our home
Listen to the words that I speak
Just don't follow if your getting too deep

I Believe in you it's never too late
I Mean this with every Breath I take
I Mean this with every Breath that I take

With a heart so big
And stars so bright
You're the light in my day
And the dark in my night

You pulled out the best in me
Close to the chest you'll be
End to start
You're my lion heart

I remember being pushed all around
From the city to a thousand more towns
Could never seem to stay on my feet
Might as well erase the people I meet

If I'm here with you then I'm calling it home
From the boy you knew to the Man you now know
Listen to this vow that I Make
And this promise that I never will break

I refuse to turn out like my old man
Creating kids and having no plans
With the worst of you and the best of me
That's what we'll always be
With the hurt from you and a gift from me
My kids you'll never see

With a heart so big
And stars so bright
You're the light in my day
And the dark in my night

You pulled out the best in me
Close to the chest you'll be
End to start
You're my lion heart

(Holding on, holding on) (3x)

With a heart so big
And stars so bright
You're the light in my day
And the dark in my night

You pulled out the best in me
Close to the chest you'll be
End to start
You're my lion heart

Lion heart (4x)

With a heart so big (Lion heart)
And stars so bright (Lion heart)
You're the light in my day (Lion heart)
And the dark in my night (Lion heart)
