LION and MOUSE

[Verse]
In the heart of the jungle, loud and proud,
Lived a lion, strong, he roared out loud.
One sunny day, beneath the tall trees,
A tiny mouse danced happily in the breeze.

[Chorus]
Little acts of kindness, so small, so bright,
Can turn into heroes, shining in light.
Roar like the lion, be brave and be true,
And learn from the mouse, kindness is for you!

[Verse]
One day the lion, caught in a snare,
Thought he was stuck, with despair everywhere.
The little mouse saw, and ran with glee,
“I’ll help you, dear lion, just wait and see!”

[Chorus]
Little acts of kindness, so small, so bright,
Can turn into heroes, shining in light.
Roar like the lion, be brave and be true,
And learn from the mouse, kindness is for you!

[Bridge]
With a little nibble, the ropes fell away,
The lion was free, oh what a great day!
He learned from the mouse that no heart is too small,
Together they laughed, and they stood proud and tall.

[Chorus]
Little acts of kindness, so small, so bright,
Can turn into heroes, shining in light.
Roar like the lion, be brave and be true,
And learn from the mouse, kindness is for you!
