《Paper Lions》的歌詞如下:
I was born in a paper world
A paper world of make believe
I was born with a golden voice
But I'm singing in a paper key
Somewhere beyond the shining shore
I'll find my way back home some day
To the lions we'll ride into the sun
But till then we'll stroll on through the rain
Cause we're all just paper lions, children of a dream
Just like a river flowing in the sand
Somewhere beyond the golden waves
The wings of the golden butterfly will find their way back home again
We're just a spark of light in a dark abyss
Floating in space with no destination
And all we need is a miracle, yeah
A moment when time stands still, that's when we'll rush into the light
Somewhere beyond this world above
Where golden stars twinkle and spirits sing for freedom, they will find their way back home again
You can burn me up in your fire
You can crush me under your feet
But you can't break my spirit, no, no
Cause I'm made of paper and glue
Somewhere beyond the shimmering sky
The butterfly knows it's time to fly
And when it finds its way back home again, it will be back in my arms again
We're just a dream on a windy day, floating up into the sky
Till then we'll stroll on through the rain
Cause we're all just paper lions, children of a dream
Just like a river flowing in the sand
And when we find our way back home again, we'll be back in your arms again.
