"Lion" lyrics
(from "Macross Frontier")
Spin the stars, the galaxy
At the center of every new world
See the butterflies flutter when you sneeze
They're dancing, wings unfurled
You could search and find no key
For the door you guard is a trick
Though embarrassing there's no shame in it
'Cause even lions lick their wounds and keep their pride
I want only to survive
Fighting for both you and I
I just want to make it out alive
Underneath the stars, I meet your eyes
The constellations our guide
I want only to survive
But I'm lost, afraid and I
Feel my strength is slowly withering
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
Will the winds adjust their course
Blowing east rather than blowing west?
From the atmosphere, pressure hits the core
And strikes our frozen planet
Tempting me with no remorse
But the water now burns in my chest
It's a story I've heard in many forms
And every time it cuts so deep, right to the bone
I want only to survive
Fighting for both you and I
I just want to make it out alive
Underneath the stars, I meet your eyes
The constellations, our guide
I want only to survive
But I'm lost, afraid and I
Feel my strength is slowly withering
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
(We'll make it, we'll survive) whoa-oh-oh
(We'll make it, we'll survive)
For what purpose were we born?
What is I'm destined to do?
Ooh
I want only to survive
Through it all, I pledge my life
Now these scars no longer fear the light
Through redemption may we meet again
At every start and every end
I don't wanna prowl and roam
I just want to make a home
With you by my side, a lion's pride
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
I want only to survive
I don't care there is no line
'Cause my love for you is beyond time
Through redemption may we meet again
At every start and every end
In place of my wild heart
There's a wish I will impart
'Cause my love for you's a shooting star
Underneath the stars, I meet your eyes
I want only to survive
Fighting for both you and I
I'm in love with you in every life
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
At the center of every new world
See the butterflies flutter when you sneeze
They're dancing, wings unfurled
You could search and find no key
For the door you guard is a trick
Though embarrassing there's no shame in it
'Cause even lions lick their wounds and keep their pride
I want only to survive
Fighting for both you and I
I just want to make it out alive
Underneath the stars, I meet your eyes
The constellations our guide
I want only to survive
But I'm lost, afraid and I
Feel my strength is slowly withering
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
Will the winds adjust their course
Blowing east rather than blowing west?
From the atmosphere, pressure hits the core
And strikes our frozen planet
Tempting me with no remorse
But the water now burns in my chest
It's a story I've heard in many forms
And every time it cuts so deep, right to the bone
I want only to survive
Fighting for both you and I
I just want to make it out alive
Underneath the stars, I meet your eyes
The constellations, our guide
I want only to survive
But I'm lost, afraid and I
Feel my strength is slowly withering
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
(We'll make it, we'll survive) whoa-oh-oh
(We'll make it, we'll survive)
For what purpose were we born?
What is I'm destined to do?
Ooh
I want only to survive
Through it all, I pledge my life
Now these scars no longer fear the light
Through redemption may we meet again
At every start and every end
I don't wanna prowl and roam

With you by my side, a lion's pride
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
I want only to survive
I don't care there is no line
'Cause my love for you is beyond time
Through redemption may we meet again
At every start and every end
In place of my wild heart
There's a wish I will impart
'Cause my love for you's a shooting star
Underneath the stars, I meet your eyes

Fighting for both you and I
I'm in love with you in every life
So I take a breath and set it free
Unveil it all to show the true me underneath
