A Nice Day on the Savannah
LION
Betty Jean Skufca 1987

Lion in the waving grass
I hear your voice
Hidden where they soon must pass
A lion's choice.

Respecting all the lion laws
Prepared to fight
Lashing tail and ripping claws
Blood in the night.

Eyes unshaded in the sun
See all before
Reflect the Moon when day is done
See even more.

Lion, share your hilltop throne
Today we'll be
All the same, we two alone
Just you and me.

(Chorus)
Lion in the waving grass
I know you well
Hidden where they soon must pass
I'm in your spell.
