Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,

RADIO JEM'S LIONS SERIES THEME SONG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevxZvSJLk8


With new lyrics ;-)

THE LIONS’ ROAR!
They’re gonna put us to the test :-0
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 :-D

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 get up
Get ready cos we’ve had enough
We see it all, we see it now .....

We’ve got the power of the fighter, the lion,
Racing to the Tryline
CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS .....
.....AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US RRROOAARR
Louder, louder than 1 lion

CAUSE WE ARE THE LIONS AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR US RRROOAARR!

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