Circle of Life / Nants' Ingonyama

(Lindiwe Mkhize & Lebo M)

[Lebo M]
Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba
Sithi uhm ingonyama (Yeah, ingonyama)
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama
Siyo Nqoba
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

[Lindiwe Mkhize]
From that day we arrived on the planet
And blinking, stepped 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

[Lindiwe Mkhize]
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

[Interlude: Lebo M]
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

[Lindiwe Mkhize]
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

I Just Can't Wait to Be King

(JD McCrary, Shahadi Wright Joseph & John Oliver)

[JD McCrary & John Oliver]
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
Well I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the main event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
Working on my roar!
Whoa, thus far a rather uninspiring thing
Oh I just can't wait to be king
You have a rather long way to go, young master, if you think—

[JD McCrary, John Oliver & Shahadi Wright Joseph]
No one saying, "Do this"
Now when I said that—
No one saying "Be there"
What I meant was—
No one saying, "Stop that"
No one saying, "See here"
Now, see here
Free to run around all day
Well that's definitely out
Free to do it all my way

[John Oliver, Shahadi Wright Joseph & JD McCrary]
I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start
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

[Instrumental Bridge]

[JD McCrary, Shahadi Wright Joseph & John Oliver]
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look, I'm standing in the spotlight (Not yet!)
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd, on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, he just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait (Just can't wait)
To be king!

Be Prepared (2019)

(Chiwetel Ejiofor)

Mufasa has always shown too much restraint when it comes to hunting. When I am king, the mighty will be free to take whatever they want, because a hyena's belly is never full.
Mufasa's far too powerful to challenge

Mufasa is yesterday's message
A clapped-out, distracted regime
Whose failings undoubtedly presage
The need for a different dream
Yes, leonine times are a-changin'
Which means that hyenas must too
My vision is clear and wide-ranging
And even encompasses you

So prepare for the coup of the century
Prepare for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning
Decades of denial is simply why I'll be king
Undisputed, respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared

(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared, be prepared
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared

Hakuna Matata

(Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, JD McCrary & Donald Glover)

[Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna matata! It ain't no passing craze!
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata

[JD McCrary, Seth Rogen, & Billy Eichner]
Hakuna matata?
Yeah, it's our motto
What's a motto?
Nothin', what's the motto with you?
Ace! Boom!
Those two words will solve all your problems
Yeah, take Pumbaa, here

[Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
Why, when he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog
How you feelin'? It's an emotional story
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul although I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
I was here for you, and I resent that
And, oh, the shame!
Yes, he was ashamed
I thought of changing my name!
I mean, to what? "Brad"?
And I got downhearted
Every time that I farted... are you gonna stop me?
No, I'm not. You disgust me!

[Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen, JD McCrary, Seth Rogen, All]
Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!
Hakuna matata! It ain't no passing craze!
It means no worries for the rest of your days (Yeah, sing it, kid)
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata

[Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!
Hakuna matata!

[Donald Glover, Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen, All]
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata! (Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
Hakuna matata, yeah (Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
Hakuna matata, oh, ah (Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
(Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
It means no worries for the rest of your days
(Hakuna matata, hakuna matata)
(Hakuna matata, hakuna)
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata

[Donald Glover, Billy Eichner, & Seth Rogen]
One more time
Oh, no, I think we did it (I think we got this one)
But we're just getting in the groove
No, let's leave 'em wanting more
Yeah, you've grown 400 pounds since we started
Meanwhile, I look exactly the same
It means no worries, oh, yeah
Will you tell him to stop
Well, you insisted we sing this song
I insisted you started singing it!
It's our signature song, we shouldn't be sharing it!
But it's our signature song so we have to-
Look, just tell him to stop
It means no worries, ah, oh
Oh, now he's riffing, Pumbaa, this is a nightmare
It actually is kinda getting better

Can You Feel the Love Tonight

(Beyoncé, Donald Glover, Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen)

[Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
I can see what's happening (I can't, what?)
And they don't have a clue (Who's they?)
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two (Oh, I get it)
The sweet caress of twilight (Yep)
There's magic everywhere (It's everywhere)
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air

[Beyoncé & Donald Glover]
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

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

[Beyoncé]
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?

[Beyoncé & Donald Glover]
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

[Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner & Seth Rogen]
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short, our pal is doomed

Spirit

(Beyoncé)

Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme
(Uishi kwa uishi kwa)
Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme
(Uishi kwa, uishi kwa)

Yeah, yeah, and the wind is talkin'
Yeah, yeah, for the very first time
With a melody that pulls you towards it
Paintin' pictures of paradise

Sayin' rise up
To the light in the sky, yeah
Watch the light lift your heart up
Burn your flame through the night, woah

Spirit, watch the heavens open (Open)
Yeah
Spirit, can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah

Yeah, yeah, and the water's crashin'
Trying to keep your head up high
While you're trembling, that's when the magic happens
And the stars gather by, by your side

Sayin' rise up
To the light in the sky, yeah
Let the light lift your heart up
Burn your flame through the night, yeah

Spirit, watch the heavens open (Open)
Yeah
Spirit, can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah

Your destiny is comin' close
Stand up and fi-i-ight

So go into that far off land
And be one with the Great I Am, I Am
A boy becomes a man, woah

Spirit, watch the heavens open (Open)
Yeah
Spirit, can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah
Spirit, yeah, watch the heavens open, open
Yeah
Spirit, spirit, can you hear it callin'? (Callin')
Yeah

Your destiny is comin' close
Stand up and fi-i-i-ight

So go into a far off land
And be one with the Great I Am

Never Too Late

(Elton John)

Don't abandon the light
Don't step away
Don't give up that tune
That you never could play
If you're folding your tent
And the gas pipes groan

If every bone rattles
Through nights all alone
Well you're tougher than leather
No old burlap sack
Not some hard scrabble weeds
Growing up through the cracks

[Chorus]
Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old to hold somebody

Don't think you've gone out
Don't flicker and fade
If you're gonna get lemons
Then you do what they say
The wind makes you weary
It knocks you around

Logs on the fire
Beats sun shining down
But you're harder than nails
No skinny old tack
You're still sharp as a razor
And I like you like that

Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old to hold somebody

I could bet on a horse
But I'm betting on you
You still got what it takes
You got nothing, nothing to prove

Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know, you're never too old
You're never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old to hold somebody
