lyrics

<Verse 1:>
It’s no surprise
Where wandering feet
Wandering minds lead you
It’s first light
I’m all alone

I couldn’t sleep
I could fall
Behind your walls, a dream awaits me
Fantasies I can’t let go
I can't let go...

<Chorus:>
Kindle my soul
Oh, take me home
Make me the hero
In a story I own
Let me face my paper tigers
Hiding behind lions of stone
Stone

<Verse 2:>
Call me a coward
I’ll make my escape
Turn another page, a new beginning
With every phrase, unlock another door

And you say
It isn’t real, but it’s real to me
Everything I feel
And I feel everything
I’m not empty anymore
Anymore

<Chorus>

<Verse 3:>
And when I return
Back to the front
I’ve already won, in another life
Step out brave into the night
Armed and ready for the fight

<Bridge:>
I’m fightin’
Beside ‘em
Stone lions
Stone lions
(x 3)

Stone lions
No hidin’
I’m fightin’
I’m fightin’
(2x)

Let me face my paper tigers
Let me face my paper tigers
I will face my paper tigers
With lions of stone
