You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one
who keeps me strong in this world

You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright

I was the one who looked so hard
I could not see.
Now I could never live
without the love you give to me.

I lived like a wild and lonely soul,
Lost in a dream beyond control.
You were the one
who brought me home down to earth.

For you are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright
