Wondering Where The Lions Are Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ericinator 

Cover art for Wondering Where The Lions Are lyrics by Bruce Cockburn

Music is one of those universal things and as in visual art I believe it is percieved differently by each person. To me this song is about a relationship; a happy relationship that the "protagonist" is wondering/waiting for something to go wrong. I've been in past relationships where all was going so well and I was so happy that it made everything in life seem better, like being in a feeling of ecstasy. It was almost like I was expecting for something to go wrong -happily it never did :) --Although I believe that the song was actually written about nuclear war.
