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

Theres a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summers on, the lions song
Sung from cleveland park

And the high school kids ignore it
They have their own tune
Theyre just showing off the speakers in their ride
I know what Im 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

Theres a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summers on, the lions 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

Theres a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summers on, the lions song
Sung from cleveland park
