bruce cockburn - wondering where the lions are (live solo) lyrics

[intro]
anyway
so, you’re gonna help me sing this, right?
okay, good

[verse 1]
sun’s up, uh huh, looks okay
the world survives into another day
and i’m thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

[verse 2]
i had another dream about lions at the door
they weren’t half as frightening as they were before
but i’m thinking about eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

[verse 3]
walls windows trees, waves coming through
you be in me and i’ll be in you
together in eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

[verse 4]
up among the firs where it smеlls so sweet
or down in the valley wherе the river used to be
i got my mind on eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
[chorus]
and i’m wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
i’m wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
wondering where the lions are (you’re the best yet)
(wondering where the lions are)
i’m wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
oh, wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
oh, wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
oh, oh
oh

[verse 5]
huge orange flying boat rises off a lake
thousand+year+old petroglyphs doing a double take
pointing a finger at eternity
i’m sitting in the middle of this ecstasy

[verse 6]
young men marching, helmets shining in the sun
polished and precise like the brain behind the gun
should be, they got me thinking about eternity
but some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
[chorus]
and i’m wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
oh, wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
oh yeah yeah, wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
oh yeah yeah, wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
yeah
yeah, duh duh duh da

[verse 7]
freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
one of these days we’re gonna sail away
gonna sail into eternity
some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

[chorus]
and i’m wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
mmm, wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
ooh yeah, wondering where the lions are
(wondering where the lions are)
yeah yeah yeah yeah (wondering where the lions are)
yeah yeah (wondering where the lions are)
duh doo da, duh doo duh da da (wondering where the lions are)
duh doo da, duh doo duh da da (wondering where the lions are)
duh doo da, duh doo da
duh doo da, duh doo da (wondering where the lions are)
duh doo da, duh doo da, duh doo da
duh doo doo doo doo doo, doo da da
wondering where the lions are, doo doo da
wondering where the lions are, duh doo doo da
wondering where the lions are, duh doo doo da
wondering where the lions are
wondering where the lions are
wondering where the lions are
[outro]
beautifully done, thank you
what do you bet that’s the only song ever to make the billboard chart
that says “petroglyph”?
