Bruce Cockburn Wondering Where The Lions Are Lyrics

Wondering Where The Lions Are Lyrics

Sun's up, uuh huh, looks okay
the world survives into another day
and i'm
thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.

I had
another dream about lions at the door
they weren't half as frightening as
they were before
but i'm thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got
a hold on me.

Walls windows trees, waves coming through
you be in me
and i'll be in you
together in eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold
on me

Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
or down in the
valley where the river used to be
i got my mind on eternity
some kind of
ecstasy got a hold on me
and i'm wondering where the lions are...
i'm
wondering where the lions are...

Huge orange flying boat rises off a
lake,
thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take,
pointing a
finger at eternity
i'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

Young
men marching, helmets shining in the sun,
polished as precise like the brain
behind the gun
(should be!) they got me thinking about eternity
some kind
of ecstasy got a hold on me
and i'm wondering where the lions are...
i'm
wondering where the lions are...

Freighters on the nod on the surface of
the bay
One of these days we're going to sail away,
going to sail into
eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
and i'm wondering where
the lions are...
i'm wondering where the lions are...
