Oh, they don't know you
And you're wading deeper than you know
And when a cub becomes a fighter
He takes his lead from an elder
Who has so much more room to grow
Come on, poet
Show us what you know, then
Did you think it was over?
‘Cause so did I
Our guns take on the tiger
And still this child
And if something was worth saving
I'd have thought we've tried
It's getting so hard to remember to be feared and kind
But it's been a long time
And I'm still in your life
Calling up
Like a ranger looking for a bone to break
And your eyes are bigger than I'm used to
‘Cause did you think it was over?
‘Cause so did I
Can't tickle the tiger and then still this child
And if something was worth saving
And I thought we tried
It's getting so hard to remember to be feared and kind
But it's been a long time
And I'm still in your life
