WE ARE ONE
[music by Tom Snow, lyrics by Marty Panzer & Mark Feldman]
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
(ONE, one, one)
REFRAIN
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 distroy
Is our pride deep inside
We are one
(refrain)
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
(refrain)
(fade out)

MY LULLABY
[music by Scott Warrender, lyrics by Joss Whedon]
Zira: (spoken) Hush my little one. You must be ehausted.
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 know it's petty
But I hate to let them live
Nuka:
So you found yourself somebody
Who'll chase Simba up a tree
Zira:
Oh the battle may be bloody
But that kind of works for me
And the melody of angry brawls
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 - 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 veneance
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

UPENDI
[lyrics and music by Kevin Quinn & Randy Petersen]
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
While the hippos swing
From the jungle vines and
The rhino rumba in a congo line
All the pink flamingos are intertwined
As the stars come out to play
REFRAIN
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 through
Your heart will lead you there
(Your heart will TAKE you there - 2nd & 3rd time)
Animals:
In Upendi
In Upendi
Rafiki:
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
(refrain)
You beat the bush like there's no tomorrow
From Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro
But you'll find Upendi wherever you are
Oh underneath the sun
Kiara: (spoken) Upendi. It means "love", doesn't it?
Rafiki: (spoken) Welcome to Upendi!
(refrain)
Kiara:
Upendi
Animals & Kiara:
Down in Upendi
Way down in Upendi
Down in Upendi
Way down in Upendi
Down in Upendi
Way down in Upendi
Down...
Kiara & Kovu:
In Upendi
Kovu:
In Upendi
In Upendi
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ONE OF US
[music by Tom Snow, lyrics by Jack Feldman]
Animals:
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
(hiss hiss hiss)
Deception
(he can't change)
(an outrage)
Disgrace
(for shame)
You know these outsiders types
(evil is plain as the scar on his face)
(see ya later, agitator)
Deception
(just leave us alone)
(an outrage)
Disgrace
(for shame)
Better go back with your own
(he asked for trouble the moment he came)
(see ya later, agitator)
All Animals:
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
Animals:
He is not one of us
Deception, disgrace
deception, disgrace
Deception
--------------------------------------------------------------------
LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
[music by Tom Snow, lyrics by Jack Feldman]
Kiara:
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 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
Kiara & Kovu:
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 found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
