On April 27, 2016, singer/songwriter, musician and producer David Francisco was crossing an intersection on his bicycle when a distracted driver ran the red light and crashed into him, paralyzing him from his waist down instantly.

During his 1 year of rehab, he wrote this song…it became his anthem; his fight song.

⦑ Verse 1 ⦒
I have the heart of a lion
There’s a spirit inside of my bones that makes me alive
I have a fighting desire
When the darkness is closing in, I’ll be the light

⦑ Chorus ⦒
Somehow when I can’t move on, I find the strength to survive
‘Cause I have a lion heart

⦑ Interlude ⦒
Here we go

⦑ Verse 2 ⦒
I may seem weak to the world
I may never be fast or as strong as I wanna be
But I am a runner on the inside
Oh, and no one can stop me now, I’m on fire, on fire

⦑ Chorus ⦒
Somehow when everything’s wrong, I know I’ll be alright
Just when my faith is gone, hope will arise
Somehow when I can’t move on, I find the strength to survive
‘Cause I have a lion heart

⦑ Bridge ⦒
Oh, you can do more than you know
Yeah, you can do anything, anything is possible
You can do more than you know
Do you believe it?
Oh, you can do more than you know
Yeah, you can do anything, anything is possible
You can do more than you know
Do you believe it?

‘Cause you have the heart of a lion
There is courage inside of your bones, don’t you believe?
