He Lives In You
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala...
Night and the spirit of life calling
Mamela
Ubukhosi bo khokho
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke
Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith, oh, have faith

He lives in you, he lives in me
We watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

He lives in you, he lives in me
We watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you

 

We Are One
Simba:
As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
But you'll see everyday
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are, we are one

Chorus:
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one

Kiara:
If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me?
The way I am?
Can I trust in my own heart?
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?

Simba:
Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on
Your journey has only begun
Tears of pain, tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride deep inside, we are one

Chorus:
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one

Simba:
We are one, you and I
We are like the earth and sky
One family under the sun
All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you need
You will find when you see we are one

Chorus:
Family, family, we are one
Family, family, we are one

 

Upendi
There's a place where the crazy moon
Makes the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon
And the sultry scent of the lotus bloom
Will carry you away
Where the hippos swing from the jungle vines
And the rhino rhumba in a conga line
All the pink flamingoes are intertwined
As the stars come out to play
In Upendi, where the passion fruit grows sweet
And it's so divine that you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi without a worry or a care
It just takes two to make it true
Your heart will lead you there
You better watch your step 'cause the path is steep
Better hold your breath 'cause the water's deep
It's a long way down off of lovers' leap
But falling's half the fun
In Upendi, where the passion fruit grows sweet
And it's so divine that you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi without a worry or a care
It just takes two to make it true
Your heart will take you there
You can beat the bush like there's no tomorrow
From Tanganika to Kilimanjaro
But you'll find Upendi wherever you are
Underneath the sun
In Upendi, where the passion fruit grows sweet
And it's so divine that you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi without a worry or a care
It just takes two to make it true
Your heart will take you there

 

One Of Us
Deception, disgrace
Evil as plain as the scar on his face
Deception, an outrage
Disgrace, for shame
He asked for trouble the moment he came
__
Deception, an outrage
Disgrace, for shame
You know these outsider types
Evil as plain as the scar on his face
See ya later, agitator
Deceive us __
Deception, an outrage
Disgrace, for shame
He'll not go back with you
He asked for trouble the moment he came
See ya later, agitator
Born in greed, raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run, let him live
But do not forget what we cannot forgive
And he is not one of us
He has never been one of us
He is not part of us, not our kind
Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done
And we know that he'll never be one of us
He is not one of us
Deception, disgrace
Deception, disgrace
Deception

 

My Lullaby
Zira:
Hush, my little one, you must be exhausted.
Sleep, my little Kovu
Let your dreams take wing
One day when you're big and strong
You will be a king
I've been exiled, persecuted
Left alone with no defense
When I think of what that brute did
I get a little tense
But I dream a dream so pretty
That I don't feel so depressed
'Cause it soothes my inner kitty
And it helps me get some rest
The sound of Simba's dying gasp
His daughter squealing in my grasp
His lionesses' mournful cry
That's my lullaby
Now the past I've tried forgetting
And my foes I could forgive
Trouble is, I knows it's petty
But I hate to let them live

Nuka:
So you've found yourself somebody
Who'll chase Simba up a tree?

Zira:
Oh the battle may be bloody
But that kind of works for me
The melody of angry growls
A counterpoint of painful howls
A symphony of death, oh my
That's my lullaby
Scar is gone, but Zira's still around
To love this little lad
'Til he learns to be a killer
With a lust for being bad

Nuka:
Sleep, ya little termite
I mean, precious little thing

Vitani:
One day when you're big and strong

Zira:
You will be a king

The pounding of the drums of war
The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar

Nuka:
The joy of vengeance

Vitani:
Testify

Zira:
I can hear the cheering

Nuka & Vitani:
Kovu, what a guy

Zira:
Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a blood red sky
That's my lullaby

 

Love Will Find A Way
Kiara:
In a perfect world, one we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world, we'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I know love will find a way
Anywhere I go, I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way

Kovu:
I was so afraid, now I realize
Love is never wrong and so it never dies
There's a perfect world shining in your eyes

Both:
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know love will find a way
Anywhere we go, we're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way

 

We Are One
As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We are more than we are, we are one

Family, family, we are one...

If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me?
The way I am?
Can I trust in my own heart?
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?
Your journey has only begun
Is our pride deep inside, we are one

Family, family, we are one...

One family under the sun
You will find when you see we are one

Family, family, we are one...

 

She Believes In You
Lebo M.
She'll be there to guide and protect you
She will there to see you through
She'll lift you up when you stumble and fall
She'll always be there to leap to your call
You've got to realize how she'd sacrifice
Nine months of her life to mother your child
Remember

Chorus:
She loves you
She really loves you
She believes in you
She truly loves you

In matrimony, you took her from her home
Said she'd never be lonely in your happy home
Treat her like a queen, she'll make you her king
She never desert you if you truly love her

(Chorus)

When times are hard, you can't find a way
Get down on your knees and pray
He'll never forsake you, he'll show you the way
His love will show you the way
He'll give you love, love, love, love

(Chorus)

When times are hard, you can't find a way
Get down on your knees and pray
He'll never forsake you, he'll show you the way
His love will show you the way
He'll give you love, love, love

She believes in you
She truly loves you...

 

Song For The Children
Lebo M.
I was born in times of misery and pain
Throughout my life I've never known happiness
Melody, my true love and company
In a song she helps me carry on
I'm singing my song
I sing it for the children
This is a song for the children of the world

In a song of peace and happiness it's saying
The harmony, sweet melody
In a song of peace and happiness it's saying
The harmony, sweet melody

This is a song for all the world's children
With our conscious mind and a positive feeling
'Cause they are the light for all of God's people
Deep in their hearts there's hope for the future

This is a song for all the children
This is a song for all the children
This is a song

 

The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Lebo M.
Lala kahle

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

He, ha helelemama
Imbube
Ingonyama ifile
Ingonyama ilile
Thula

Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight

He, ha helelemama
Imbube
Ingonyama ilile

Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight

He, ha helelemama
Ohi'mbube
Ingonyama ilile...

 

Love Will Find A Way
Kenny Lattimore y Heather Headley
In a perfect world, one we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have their world, we'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart

I know love will find a way
Anywhere I go, I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way

I was so afraid, now I realize
Love is never wrong and so it never dies
There's a perfect world shining in your eyes

And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you

They'd know love will find a way
Anywhere we go, we're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way

I know love will find a way, oh yes it will
Anywhere we go,
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
I know love will find a way
