Lions And Eagles

Big Daddy Weave uses two different animals to describe two different kinds of captivity in "Lions And Eagles" — "I was a lion, I was young, I was free, I was king of the beasts, until the shame became a cage, a prison around me" and "I was an eagle, my head in the clouds, nothing was holding me down, 'til all my fears, they chained me here, keeping me on the ground." Shame and fear each get their own specific image rather than one generic description of being trapped.

"You're not a failure, even though you've got all of those crazy thoughts, all the regrets play in your head over again" names the actual mental loop rather than a vague sense of low self-worth, and "you were His child all of the while, you were designed to live" answers it with a claim about origin and design rather than a pep talk.

"Who the Son sets free, who the Son sets free, you were meant to be wild and free" quotes Jesus' own words directly, closing the song on freedom as an identity already given rather than something still being earned.
