    Shanice and David did a fabulous job with the song! I was skeptical about David returning to the story of OZ along with Ms. Latifah after they played Auntie Em & Uncle Henry in the Muppets Wizard of Oz starring Ashanti as Dorothy. But he turned in a really good performance as the Lion even if his entrance during Ease On Down The Road was rushed.

    There is a place we'll go
    Where there is mostly quiet
    Flowers and butterflies
    A rainbow lives beside it
    And from a velvet sky
    A summer storm
    You can feel the coolness in the air
    But you're still warm
    And then a mighty roar
    Will start the sky to cryin'
    But not even light'ning
    Will be frightening my lion
    And with no fear inside
    No need to run
    No need to hide
    You're standing strong and tall
    You're the bravest of them all
    If on courage you must call
    Then just keep on tryin'
    And tryin', and tryin'
    You're a lion
    In your own way, be a lion
    Come on be a lion
    I am standing strong and tall
    You're the bravest of them all
    If on courage you must call
    Keep on tryin'
    And tryin', and tryin'
    I'm a lion
    In my own way
    I'm a lion
    A lion
    A lion
    A lion

    And from a velvet sky,
    A summer storm;
    You can feel the coolness in the air

    And in a mighty roar,
    Will start the sky to cryin'
    Not even lightening, will be frightening;
    My lion.
    And with no fear inside;
    No need to run,
    No need to hide.
    You're standing strong and tall;
    You're the bravest of them all.
    If on courage you must call,
    Then just keeping trying,
    And trying,
    And trying.
    You're a lion,
    In your own way.
    Be a lion!
    I'm standing strong and tall (strong and tall)
    I'm the bravest (the bravest)
    Of them all (of them all)
