Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't fear what you can't see
Ready now, ready now
I'll hold on to you, you hold on to me
Ooh
I found the heart of a lion
And I held it in my hand, and I could feel
I could feel, feel the beat
Gas up the easy rider
And head out for Nevada
Can somebody let the beast out, baby
It's time to meet your maker
Make the road your undertaker
Can somebody let the beast out, baby
Can't stop the beat, can't stop the beat
Run, but you can't hide from the heat
Life is a record, playing on repeat
I'm running wild, with The Lion The Beast The Beat
So don't you try to tame the lion
Just to ride on the horizon
Can somebody let the beast out, baby
Yeah, we all hide our desire
And then we feel the beat like fire
Will somebody let the beast out, baby
Oh
Can't stop the beat, can't stop the beat
Run, but you can't hide from the heat
When life is a record, playing on repeat
I'm running wild with The Lion The Beast The Beat
Oh
Can't stop the beat, can't stop the beat
Run, but you can't hide from the heat
When life is a record, playing on repeat
I'm running wild with The Lion The Beast The Beat

Steady now, steady now
Be calm and composed
Don't fear what you can't see
Do not worry about the unknown
Ready now, ready now
Be prepared for anything
I'll hold on to you, you hold on to me
Together we can face anything
I found the heart of a lion
I found courage within myself
In the belly of the beast
In the midst of danger and uncertainty
And I held it in my hand, and I could feel
And I felt empowered by it
I could feel, feel the beat
I felt the rhythm of life and possibility
Gas up the easy rider
Prepare to embark on an adventure
And head out for Nevada
And go where the wind takes us
Can somebody let the beast out, baby

I'm living life boldly and passionately
So don't you try to tame the lion
Don't try to control nature and intuition
Just to ride on the horizon
Just to achieve a temporary goal
Yeah, we all hide our desire
We all suppress our true passions
And then we feel the beat like fire
And then we finally understand the power within us
Will somebody let the beast out, baby
Let's embrace who we truly are
Oh
Expressing excitement or wonder
Can't stop the beat, can't stop the beat
Life keeps moving forward
Run, but you can't hide from the heat
We can't escape from the intensity of life
When life is a record, playing on repeat
Life can be monotonous and predictable
I'm running wild with The Lion The Beast The Beat
I'm living life fearlessly and passionately

Still rocking this in 2023

In an alternate, sane universe, Grace Potter is the biggest rock star on the planet. The voice, the musicianship, the showmanship. She is teh total package and needs to be much much bigger.
@UnbornTurd
way bigger. and to be judged by a woman favorably is the highest praise. She has the looks the sound the abandon of enjoying herself while being herself! i am a better person for finally looking her up :D
@shawnpwatsons1
I agree!
@andrewscott3184
She keeps letting someone write these shit songs and what a shame for such a great singer. 15k likes says it all.
@ordainedhughes1388
I feel like if the population as a whole was as into rock music as they have been in decades past she would be much bigger.
@tonyr669

Just saw Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at Red Rocks, Colorado... best show ever!! So much energy, an amazing band, and Grace is ... amazing. Her voice is perfect, from sweet, to powerful, to knock your face off.. perfectly on pitch. Never seen so much ENERGY An impossible act for the Tedeschi Trucks band to follow. They were good too, but I'm now a Grace Potter fan for life!

I discovered Grace back in Colorado when I DJed at a Local Radio Station and my world has never been the same. That essence pouring from her is so beautifully expressed in all she is! Love her story, Love her songs, they are so fun to sing, they give any singer an avenue to express more vocal color than most music out there! Its a vocal transcendental experience and I get lost in all the notes. Shes a great balance of Earth and Air as she is a Gemini/Taurus blend and it shows in her style and songs!
Were all in the huddle with the great music and I like it like this! Lets keep it small😉
Peace Love and Grace❤❤❤
