I once met a man who used to slay dragons,
the kind everyone was afraid to confront.
But for his courage there was no honor.
People passed him by and went on their way.

As he stood up like a lion,
and died like a lamb.

Fighting our dragons means fighting our demons,
the ones in our wisdom we refuse to believe.
In freedom’s name we’ll break our promises,
and from fiery breath we’ll willingly flee.

But if we stand up like a lion,
we’ll die like a lamb.

The heroes of old, they died poor and alone.
buried like seeds, deep underground.
Hidden from us, and watered by the rain.
living by faith and awaiting the day that they’d..

stand up like like the lion,
and rise like the lamb.

Darkness has taken over your land,
but I’ve come to bring light in abundance again.
I’ll shake the earth and the earth will shake me.
We’ll be cast out like fools because we believe…

when we stand up like the lion,
we’ll rise like the lamb.
