That kitten of life br The lioness that stalks me in my dreams br As I run in terror br No one ever hears my screams br br Does she simply want to play br Or will she kill me dead br How do you tell a lions intentions br Enough to fill your soul with dread br br Here I run and there I hide br As she runs ever faster br And with greater strides br br In a building I take shelter br Locking doors in frantic fear br Just outside each door and window br She awaits, she's far too near br br Is the symbol of this lion br The very picture of my life br As I tremble in the darkness br So fearful of this strife br br Is the lion part of me br The part that longs to be set free br Is she locked up here inside br With my other part who fears to die br One day both sides, they will collidebr br Lynne FincherSpringardenbr br
