Danielson My Lion Sleeps Tonight Lyrics

My Lion Sleeps Tonight Lyrics

Distant country

My share of the estate

Poison



Stomach

Is filled with

Pig pods



No longer worthy

To be called your son

But papa runs to me



And in his arms

'Round me he does throw

I've been given best robe



Rings and sandals

For my bloody feet



Bring on the fatted calf

And let us all have a feast

This son of mine once was dead

But now is alive again



My

Lion

Sleeps

Tonight



As a dog returns

To his vomit

So I have run



I set my affection on thee

The only one and

I turn my eyes from all

The worthless things and



I set my affection on thee

The only one and, oh

The only one, oh

This son is done and, oh

This son is done and, oh

This son is done



The poison has been drained
