RADIO JEM'S LIONS TOUR THEME SONG

To the tune of Katy Perry's Roar!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevxZvSJLk8

THE LIONS’ ROAR!

They’re gonna put us to the test
We’ve really got to play our best
Not gonna play quietly,
Not gonna play “politely”
We really haven’t got much choice
Must push ourselves to breaking point
We’ll stand for nothing
We’ll try out everything

They hold us down, but we get up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust
They hear our voice, they hear that sound
Like Thunder, gonna shake their ground
They hold us down, but we'll get up
Get ready cos we’ve had enough
We see it all, we see it now .....

We’ve got the might of a lion, a fighter,
Dancing through the fire
CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS .....
.....AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US ROAR
Louder, Louder than 1 lion
CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS....
.....AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US ROAR !

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
