[Verse 1]
C Bb F C
And the Lion of Judah still smiles
C Bb F C
And his army can't break the golden chain
F Bb F
Yet the people still laugh away their sin
C Bb F C
While the peasants are proud to wait for rain
Gm Bb C
For the seasons are sure to bring them gain
[Verse 2]
C Bb F C
As the landlords and princes cross the land
C Bb F C
To the farmers taking all their crops away
F Bb F
For the merchants of a church that’s built on sand, yeah
C Bb F C
There the faithful pray for freedom every day
Gm Bb C
In the cities where the wise and rich decay
[Verse 3]
C Bb F. C
And the Lion of Judah still smiles
C Bb F C
As his kingdom, like a flower, grows again
F Bb F
In the splendour of the harvest he now lives
C Bb F C
Tho' he's dying with the love that he has gained
Gm Bb C
And he’s fearless of the circle and the flames
[Verse 4]
C Bb F C
If a tyrant or teacher is soon born
C Bb F C
Of the power from the seed that he has sown
F Bb F
And the country hangs like lighting that is torn
C Bb F C
Between the shadows of a century in scorn
Gm Bb C
He'll be shining in the sunset and the dawn
