I've spent time roaming the plains
There's one thing you'll never see on TV
Even the slightest kick
From even the slightest bird
Can easily maim the lion

And maybe that's just the same for you and me
Even the big cats, they don't eat for free
And if on the surface, I come off big and strong
Nobody could deny that you crippled me

Flashing fangs make you think that he is fine
But even a king is only king for a little time
So even the shortest hour
From even the shortest day
Can easily maim the lion (in that way)

And maybe that's just the same for you and me
Even the big cats, they don't eat for free
And if on the surface, I come off big and strong
Nobody could deny that you crippled me

(every little step we take is one step closer to the ground)
