Pacing gently, summer wind

The king stares softly to the sky

Will he ever see his home again

Deep from his heart he starts to cry



As his songs hit the air and young hearts are awake

Soon they join in the chorus sharing all his ache



There's a lifetime out there somewhere

Somewhere in the dark

And summer's on, the lion's song

Sung from cleveland park



And the high school kids ignore it

They have their own tune

They're just showing off the speakers in their ride

I know what i'm sayin'

I grew up too soon

And youth goes hand in hand with foolish pride



As their song hits the air and young hearts start to break

The lions join in the chorus sharing all their ache



There's a lifetime out there somewhere

Somewhere in the dark

And summer's on, the lion's song

Sung from cleveland park



In cleveland park trees breathe a sigh of all the summers gone

Skeletons in wintertime, they sing the lions song



There's a lifetime out there somewhere

Somewhere in the dark

And summer's on, the lion's song

Sung from cleveland park
