Lions Lyrics by Breakaway

The Light That Keeps Me Awake

2017

[Verse 1]
There were no heroes in the childhoods we braved
We once were hunted so you could take away your pain
We built ourselves to stand alone in our own way
Skin black and blue, because of you
[Chorus]
You can't control us now
We are the lions, that fought through the riot
We're not the only ones
Who came from the fire, walked on a wire
We are the lions
We're not the pray you desire
You can't control us now
We fought through the riot, we conquered the fire
[Verse 2]
We once were helpless, now we find ourselves engraved
With lessons learned, we taught ourselves to find our way
We hold our own outside outside from we came
We took from you, we hold on, too
[Chorus]
You can't control us now
We are the lions, that fought through the riot
We're not the only ones
Who came from the fire, walked on a wire
We are the lions
We're not the pray you desire
You can't control us now
We fought through the riot, we conquered the fire
[Verse 3]
We walked a wire 'till we found ourselves
Our lives in our hands
Straight through a riot burning oxygen
We built ourselves to stand
We built ourselves to stand
To live again
[Chorus]
You can't control us now
We are the lions, that fought through the riot
We're not the only ones
Who came from the fire, walked on a wire
We are the lions
We're not the pray you desire
You can't control us now
We fought through the riot, we conquered the fire
