Lyrics by Lorraine Feather
They're gone now, every one of them
Here in the darkness you remain
With visions of the wilderness
Of the jungle and the plain
A searchlight finds you now and then
You only answer with your stare
Motionless inside your urban lair
Oh little tiger
I like to think one day
You'll find a place
Where all the tigers play
They keep you and they care for you
But leave your power unfulfilled
You waken to a gentle voice
To find your food already killed
One heartbeat told you everything
Another world, a fiercer sun
Close your eyes and dream of how you'd run
Oh little tiger
I like to think one day
You'll find a place
Where all the tigers play
Oh little tiger
I hear you in the night
And feel the longing
Of your hidden light
This place is calm and comforting
Without the danger freedom brings
Is this your own peculiar fate
No need at all to lie in wait
You raise your golden head and roar
The warning of the carnivore
And watch the white birds fly away
(CHORUS)
