Wondering Where The Lions Are Lyrics By Bruce Cockburn

    sun’s up uuh huh looks okay
    the world survives into another day
    and i’m thinking about eternity
    some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

    i had another dream about lions at the door
    they weren’t half as frightening as they were before
    but i’m thinking about eternity
    some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

    walls windows trees waves coming through
    you be in me and i’ll be in you
    together in eternity
    some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

    up among the firs where it smells so sweet
    or down in the valley where the river used to be
    i got my mind on eternity
    some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
    and i’m wondering where the lions are
    i’m wondering where the lions are

    huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
    thousandyearold petroglyphs doing a double take
    pointing a finger at eternity
    i’m sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

    young men marching helmets shining in the sun
    polished as precise like the brain behind the gun
    should be they got me thinking about eternity
    some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
    and i’m wondering where the lions are
    i’m wondering where the lions are

    freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
    one of these days we’re going to sail away
    going to sail into eternity
    some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
    and i’m wondering where the lions are
    i’m wondering where the lions are
