about

"Lion" - The first single and title track from LION, Chris Assaad's new music medicine collection of songs.

”Lion” is a song about the lion-hearted soul adventurer within each of us. Its message speaks of finding courage and overcoming anything that stands in the way of our fullest potential and power. Its invitation is to follow your true calling and brave the path less traveled, as opposed to the one prescribed by others. This music medicine amplifies courage and the power to find your true roar, to express it boldly and to let it be heard by all those who need it.

The full album is set to be released in partnership with White Swan Records & Black Swan Sounds this fall.

lyrics

Courage

Where’s it gonna come from?

Courage

What you tryin’ to run from?

Courage
Where’s it gonna come from now, now? 



Lion... Lion... Lion... Lion.


We follow the crowd our whole lives

Then we wake up one day open our eyes
See our reflection in the water realize
Taught all along that we were sheep but deep inside



Lion... Lion... Lion... Lion.



We come from an ancient land

Three pyramids and desert sand
One people using our hands

To build a kingdom, we stand



United by our purpose, we serve

Highest vision for the planet, we work
To stoke the holy fire that burns

Until we’re livin’ in heaven on earth


Lion... Lion... Lion... Lion.

Courage

Where’s it gonna come from?

Courage

What you tryin' to run from?

Courage
Where’s it gonna come from now, now? 
 


Heart of a Lion

A shoulder to cry on

The one I rely on 

From here to Zion


Heart of a Lion

A shoulder to cry on
The one we rely on 

From here to Zion



Lion... Lion... Lion... Lion.

We follow the crowd our whole lives

Then we wake up one day open our eyes
See our reflection in the water realize
Taught all along that we were sheep but deep inside
