The Lion's Share

Grand slam, your moment's at hand, the day holds a costly bargain

Lost lamb asking the lion's share

Homespun, a prodigal son, comes begging a humble pardon

But no one rises to hear his prayer

Lone star, you've wandered so far and long in the unfamiliar

That now you travel a map unknown

Starbright, a constant delight to those in the dark

And still your birthright's to shine in the night alone

(Chorus)

Living in the shadows of the things that might have been

Torn between the blessing and the curse

You may stop the hunger but you'll never slake the thirst

For the nectar you remember but you'll never taste again

Nonesuch, your Midas' touch, has gilded your heart and left you

So much playing the prince of clowns

Hell-bent, empty and spent, just look what your gamble's got you

Exile far from the sacred grounds

(Chorus)

Grand slam, your moment's at hand, the day holds a costly bargain

Lost lamb, asking the lion's share
