lyrics

I ran my fastest
He nipped my heals
I heard him roaring
My lungs were filled
But with exhaustion
And fear at best
Will I awake to find a lion on my chest?

He hides behind my pillow at night
What a fright, at the sight
How I wish that I could put up a fight
Can't escape, so I wake up

I started screaming
Conscious at last
The point evades
These visions past
Knowing I had to
Drift back to dream
I resolved to ask the lion what he means

He hides behind my pillow at night
What a fright, at the sight
How I wish that I could put up a fight
Can't escape, I won't wake up

Who do you think you are?
Do you know me?
How can I stop you from haunting all of my dreams?
Who do you think you are?
Do you know me?
Where do you come from?
How can I be rid of you?

I'm the strength that you've been waiting to find
Not a fright, in the slight
I'm the courage that you needed to fight
Why are you running away from me?
