I was visiting with my mom today and she was listening to her favorite Doo Wop songs. One of the songs in particular made me think of our current situation; The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
I've heard this song a million times throughout my lifetime. In fact, it is one of my favorites. When I hear this song it usually brings back cherished childhood memories. However, this time while singing and listening to the lyrics I received a different message. This time "The Lion" represented the strength of humanity, truth and justice.
There is so much disparity in the World and we are ALL desperate for change! Nevertheless, WE must all hold on to hope and keep believing that "The Lion" will soon wake up and HIS light will dispel the darkness that shrouds us today.
Here are the lyrics:

Here are the lyrics:
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
by The Tokens
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
(repeat)
A wimoweh...
Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight
(repeat)
A wimoweh...
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight
(repeat)
A wimoweh...
