From within a hope is found
Room fades away, no sound
Determined to succeed
A hunger he must feed
Takes his place on the stage
Lion freed from his cage
Now watch him roar
A single misstep, doomed to fail
Watch his masterplan go off the rails
It crumbles and crashes
Burns away into ashes
Smoke rising to the sky
Too bad he can’t fly
Fallen again, lost it again
Retreats to his den, with only his pen
Wanting to fly, needing to fly
Is it too high, will it be too high?
Heading to the sky, past the sky
Now watch him roar
Knees scraped to the bone
Ready to seize the throne
Risen again, like a demon from hell
Burning with passion, seized by its spell
His past a shadow, clinging to his side
Against the threat of failure, never to hide
Eyes consumed by the flames
Bound with a desire that cannot be tamed
Takes his place on the stage
Lion freed from his cage
Now watch him roar
