Chorus:
       Tiger Eyes, what do you see
       Through your bars of captivity?
       Tiger Eyes, you look so sad;
       Don't lose your soul to the will of man!

There was a time when you could roam,
All through this world since it all was your home.
But, since then, you've been confined to a cage.
I understand your first feelings of rage.

But, now in your eyes I see only despair
Because of all the time you had to spend here.
All you do now is sit and mope,
But don't forget when there's life, there's hope.

[Chorus]

It is true that you're physically bound,
But that's not a good reason to feel so down.
There's more to you than a body of flesh.
You have a spirit which cannot rest.

That spirit's free and will not be broken
As long as you believe and keep on hoping.
You have a mind whose thoughts are the key
Because through those thoughts you can always be free!!

[Chorus]

Tiger Eyes, Tiger Eyes, etc.
