There was a flood
And many poor men were killed
And that is why our house
Is built on the top of a hill
The plains are like a friend
Why cant we live on them
And if a flood should come
Why cant we run
I am the lion
Bellowing out in the night
We had a cow
I left it alone to graze
And walked to the stream
And when I returned
It was stolen away
But now the cow is gone
And we dont need a farm
We have not one thing
They would steal away
I am the lion
Bellowing out at the night
