[Chant repeats]

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle

[Simba]
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

[Zazu]
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

[Simba]
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR

[Zazu]
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

[Simba]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[Zazu]
(You've rather a long way to go, young master,
if you think...)

[Simba]
No one saying do this
[Zazu]
(Now when I said that, I -)
[Nala]
No one saying be there
[Zazu]
(What I meant was...)
[Simba]
No one saying stop that
[Zazu]
(Look, what you don't realize...)
[Nala]
No one saying see here
[Zazu]
(Now see here!)

[Simba]
Free to run around all day
[Zazu]
(Well, that's definitely out...)
[Simba]
Free to do it all my way!

[Zazu]
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart

[Simba]
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start

[Zazu]
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing

[Simba]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

[Zazu]
Not yet!

[Chorus]
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!

[Scar (speaking)]
I never thought hyenas essential
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain

[Scar (singing)]
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride

It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares

So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
[Shenzi]
And where do we feature?
[Scar (singing)]
Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!

[Hyena chorus]
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored

[Scar (singing)]
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!

So prepare for the coup of the century
[Hyena chorus] (Oooh!)
[Scar (singing)] Be prepared for the murkiest scam
[Hyena chorus] (Oooh... La! La! La!)
[Scar (singing)] Meticulous planning
[Hyena chorus] (We'll have food!)
[Scar (singing)] Tenacity spanning
[Hyena chorus] (Lots of food)
[Scar (singing)] Decades of denial
[Hyena chorus] (We repeat)
[Scar (singing)] Is simply why I'll
[Hyena chorus] (Endless meat)
[Scar (singing)] Be king undisputed
[Hyena chorus] (Aaaaaaah...)
[Scar (singing)] Respected, saluted
[Hyena chorus] (...aaaaaaah...)
[Scar (singing)] And seen for the wonder I am
[Hyena chorus] (...aaaaaaah!)
[Scar (singing)] Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
[Hyena chorus] (Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
[Scar (singing)] Be prepared!

[Hyena chorus]
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
Be prepared!

[Timon]
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
[Pumbaa]
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

[Timon]
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
[Both]
It's our problem-free philosophy
[Timon]
Hakuna Matata!

Why, when he was a young warthog...
[Pumbaa] When I was a young wart hoooog!
[Timon] Very nice.
[Pumbaa] Thanks!
[Timon]
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
[Pumbaa]
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
[Timon] (He was ashamed!)
[Pumbaa] Thoughta changin' my name
[Timon] (Oh, what's in a name?)
[Pumbaa] And I got downhearted
[Timon] (How did you feel?)
[Pumbaa] Ev'rytime that I...
[Timon] Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
[Pumbaa] Oh... sorry.

[Both]
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

Yeah, sing it, kid!

It's our problem-free

[Timon] I can see what's happening
[Pumbaa] (What?)
[Timon] And they don't have a clue
[Pumbaa] (Who?)
[Timon]
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two.
[Pumbaa] (Oh.)

[Timon]
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air

[Lead female vocal]
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

[Simba]
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me

[Nala]
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?

[Lead female vocal]
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are

[Timon]
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
[Pumbaa]
His carefree days with us are history
[Both]
In short, our pal is doomed

Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Elton John

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

(Chorus)
In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round

(Chorus repeats)

On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life.

Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Elton John

Way beyond the water hole
A little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine

I'm gonna be the ruler
Of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super-awesome thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

I'm going to be a noble king
And scrupulously fair
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair

I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
The fauna and the flora gonna swing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

(Chorus)
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way

(Piano Solo)

No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
Free to do it my way

The time has come
As someone said
To talk of many things
This may be true
But I would rather stick to talking kings

It's easy to be royal
If you're already leonine
It isn't just my right
Even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Oh, I just can't wait to be king
(Repeat until fade)

Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Elton John

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

(Chorus)
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

(Chorus)
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

[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 every day
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

[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

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

[Rafiki]
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
And the pink flamingoes are intertwined
As the stars come out to play

In Upendi
Where the passionfruit 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 over Lovers' Leap
But falling's half the fun!

In Upendi
Where the passionfruit 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 Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro
But you'll find Upendi wherever you are
Oh underneath the sun

[Rafiki & Chorus]
In Upendi
Where the passionfruit 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
[Kiara]
Upendi!

[Rafiki & Chorus]
Down In Upendi
Way down
In Upendi!

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!)
(He can't change his stripes)
Disgrace (For shame!)
(You know these Outsider types)
He asked for trouble the moment he came
(See you later, agitator!)
Deception (An outrage!)
(Just leave us alone!)
Disgrace (For shame!)
(Traitor, go back with your own!)
He asked for trouble the moment he came
(See you later, agitator!)

Born in grief
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

[Zira (speaking)]
Hush, my little one; you must be exhausted.

[Zira (singing)]
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, persucuted
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 found yourself somebody who'd chase Simba up a tree

[Zira (singing)]
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
Till he learns to be a killer
With a lust for being bad!

[Nuka]
Sleep, ya little termite!
Uh-- I mean, precious little thing!
[Vitani]
One day when you're big and strong
[Zira (singing)]
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!
I can hear the cheering
[Nuka]
Kovu! What a guy!

[Zira (singing)]
Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a blood-red sky
That's my lullaby!

[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

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

They'd know
Love will find a way

I was born in times of misery and pain
Throughout my life, I've never known happiness
Melody, my true love and company
In her 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 is said
The harmony a sweet melody
In a song of peace and happiness is said
The harmony a sweet melody

This is a song
For all the world's children
Without conscious minds
And a positive meaning
They are the light
For all of God's people
Deep in their hearts
Is the hope of the future

This is a song
For all the children
This is a song
For all the children

This is a song
