My Lion Sleeps Tonight - Danielson

The distant country

My share of the estate

The poison

My stomach

Is filled with

Pig pods

No longer worthy

To be called your son

But Pappa runs to me

And in his arms

Around me he does throw

I been

Given

The best robe

Rings and sandals

For my bloody feet

Bring on the fatted calf

And let 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 have set my affection on thee

The only one and

I turn my eyes from all

The worthless things and

I have set my affection on thee

The only one and oh

This son is done

The poison has been drained
