There once was a lass with fire in her eyes,
Magic in her soul, and a gift for disguise.
She had a twin brother, but fighting he despised,
So he went to the priests and she went to the knights!
.
Lion cub, oh lion cub!
You chose a risky route.
Lion cub, oh lion cub,
Don't let them find you out!
.
Alan of Trebond was a scrappy, feisty lad,
Always fiercely loyal to whatever friends he had.
He wouldn't stand for bullying; injustice made him mad,
And anyone who knew him knew that he could take a stand.
.
Lion cub, oh lion cub!
They listen when you shout,
But lion cub, oh lion cub,
Don't let them find you out!
.
Down in the desert where an evil magic lay,
Alan and Prince Jon went to drive the beasts away.
Drive them out they did, right by the close of day,
But Prince Jon learned the secret that Alan couldn't say!
.
Lion cub, oh lion cub!
Your friends are strong, no doubt,
But lion cub, oh lion cub,
Don't let the rest find out!
.
Alanna of Trebond stayed a secret to the world,
But soon into war was young squire Alan hurled.
And after that returned to court where thick plots swirled.
Despite the risk he earned his shield – a new standard unfurled.
.
Lion cub, oh lion cub,
Your success is true throughout.
Lion cub, oh lion cub,
How long 'til they find out?
.
Now Roger Duke Conté had an evil plot to run,
But Sir Alan soon discovered the deeds that he had done.
His actions saved the queen, the king, and yes, their noble son,
But exposed the secret she had kept since her training had begun!
.
Lioness, oh Lioness,
How rampantly you shout!
Lioness, oh Lioness!
At last your truth is out!
