LIONS PRAYER
When I attend my lions club
And break at the table
I gave a million thanks to God
To know that I am able to meet there
With my fellow man
Relax and play and sing
To hear the speakers of the day
The fine thoughts that they bring
I realize that I have a part
In caring for the blind
Also the underpriviledged
Let’s keep them all in mind
Now as we do our daily tasks
Pray God we do them greatly
Then liberty and intelligence
Will be our Nations safety
LIONS SONG
I LIKE AM
I like am, Lionism I like am (twice)
In am we make friends
And serve with pleasure
With all its objectives and aims (twice)
Lionism I like am.
THE MORE WE ARE TOGETHER
The more we are together, together, together
The more we are together
The happier we shall be
For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we are together
The happier we shall be.
The more we serve the needy, then needy, the needy
The more we serve the needy
The happier we shall be
In friendship and kindness
In kindness and friendship
The more we serve the needy
The happier we shall be.
