My Lion Sleeps Tonight Lyrics

Distant country My share of the estate Poison
Stomach Is filled with Pig pods
No longer worthy To be called your son But papa runs to me
And in his arms ‘Round me he does throw I’ve been given best robe
Rings and sandals For my bloody feet
Bring on the fatted calf And let us all have a feast This son of mine once was dead But now is alive again
My Lion Sleeps Tonight
As a dog returns To his vomit So I have run
I set my affection on thee The only one and I turn my eyes from all The worthless things and
I set my affection on thee The only one and, oh The only one, oh This son is done and, oh This son is done and, oh This son is done
The poison has been drained
