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. Now I will love you unconditionally.
When I was growing up, I used to have a reoccurring dream about a tiger who would protect me, I later in my life met someone who protected me and loved me the way the tiger did in my dream. So that's where the idea for this poem came from.
