Heart of a Lion (Original Song)

Heart of a Lion (Original)

I was heading home and saw Toadstool at my house. "Toadstool?" I asked, "Hey." "Hi you," she said. "Your little friend came over to play," said my mom. "I knew you would be a little busy to come to my house so I decided to come to yours," said Toadstool. She gave me a hug. She noticed blood on my face. "What happened?" she asked. "My uncle threw me in the car and drove me back here," I said. She put a bandage on my head. "You're a sweet boy," said Toadstool, "Why would he treat you like this?" "Cause he's a jerk," I said, "He always makes me work and I never get to play or do what I want until its 100% perfect. That's why you see blood in some spots." "Well he clearly doesn't see the potential you have," said Toadstool as she hugged me, "But I do."

Toadstool: I know the world has its ups and downs
Long story short life just stinks
Sometimes the world can reject your god given gift
But that shouldn't have to mean a thing

I think you've got what it takes
To show those people wrong
but if you want the opportunity
you gotta be strong

You've got the heart of a lion
The speed of a cat
You have the strength of a hero
And that's just that
You shouldn't care what they think
Cause they just can't see
I know you do what you can
and that's good enough for me

They think we're crazy to be friends
Cause we're different worlds
but we're not as different as we seem
Don't listen to their stories that you're just gonna fail
Cause I have you and you have me

I think you've got what it takes
To show those people wrong
but if you want the opportunity
you gotta be strong

You've got the heart of a lion
The speed of a cat
You have the strength of a hero
And that's just that
You shouldn't care what they think
Cause they just can't see
I know you do what you can
and that's good enough for me

I won't give up on you
I know what you can do
Someday I know they'll see
That you're a hero to me

You've got the heart of a lion
The speed of a cat
You have the strength of a hero
And that's just that
You shouldn't care what they think
Cause they just can't see
I know you do what you can
and that's good enough for me

I gave Toadstool a hug. “Someday I know you’ll do great things for this world,” she said, “It’ll take time, but I promise you it will happen.” She smiled and I smiled back.
