Lion — Pride

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They call me king but I don't reign alone —
the strength they fear is sisters, blood and bone.
I hold the line, I hold the name, I hold the gold —
a crown is just a family you're brave enough to hold.

[Chorus]
Pride — it's the pride that keeps me —
not the claw, not the roar, not the mane.
The lonely lion dies a king of nothing;
I survive because I'm not the same alone.

[Verse 2]
Let the rivals come and test the throne —
the roar goes eight miles out so none arrive unknown.
I'll spend my whole life keeping what I love alive,
and that, not teeth, is how the kings survive.

[Outro]
(brass swell) … long live the ones I keep …
