lyrics

Ari the Lion I hear you crying
I know you're trying to speak
Soon you'll be fluent, you'll have help through it
Maybe someday we can talk about this song

We met when you were three hours old
First thing your father showed me
Was your vestigial instinct to cling
With hands and feet in response to touch

You see, we all used to ride the jungles
On our mother's backs
A hundred thousand years before Baby Bjorn

Ari the Lion, the light is blinding
And I know you're trying to see
Soon you'll be dressed to be stressed
And impressed by people, by power
Possessions, and things

We all feel the need to belong
Maybe someday we'll talk about this song

When you were only three days old
Your hand was freezing cold
Your dad gave you a blanket
You just swatted it away
Ari, you're gonna be okay
Your mom put on your hat and told me all about your name

Watch out for half-truths and greed
Make time to day dream and sing
You already know how to breathe
Learn to remind yourself that's the most important thing

Walk like you know exactly where you're going
Embrace the unexpected and change
No matter what anyone tells you
You don't need cologne if you regularly bathe

Ari the Lion I hear you crying
I know you're trying to sleep
Soon you'll be rested and pressed to invest in our world
You'll be tested by everyone you meet

Ari the Lion I hear you crying
I know you're trying to speak
Soon you'll be fluent, you'll have help through it
Maybe someday we can talk about this song
I hope someday we can talk about this song
