What is the meaning behind the song, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” which was a number one hit in 1961? Can you believe it was written in 1939?
The true lyrics and meaning likely centered around keeping lions away from cattle herds, something Solomon Linda, the songwriter, did as a young man.
We have one who doesn’t rest and neither should we. He’s out there seeking whom he may devour and he is no pussycat. Therefore, one should always be on guard.
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Give it some serious consideration.
