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 [bad word] [bad word] 
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 [bad word] [bad word] 
You are the tiger burning bright
