"Wondering Where the Lions Are" is a song written and performed by Bruce Cockburn.[1] The track is from his 1979 album Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws.
Chart performance edit
It was Cockburn's only Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100,[2] and it peaked at No. 92 in Australia.[3]
While also a Top 40 hit in Cockburn's native Canada, it was not his biggest hit in that country, where seven of his subsequent singles reached higher chart positions. It was, however, named the 29th greatest Canadian song of all time in the 2005 CBC Radio series 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version.
