You were a Lion

When other people see you on the street do they know the man you used to be?
Do they know the pain that you have felt?
Do they know the cards that you’ve been dealt?
To them it seems so strange
Why’s this grown man begging for change?
They didn’t know you when you were so strong
You haven’t been this way all along
You were so strong
You were so proud
You were a lion
Your roar was so loud
The strokes came and knocked you off of your game
And after that, well you were never the same
You lost your car, your house, and you lost your wife
You lost your roar and then well you lost your life
To them it seems so strange
Why’s this grown man begging for change?
They didn’t know you when you were so strong
You haven’t been this way all along
You were so strong
You were so proud
You were a lion your roar was so loud
