My lullaby

[00:02.78] ZIRA, spoken]

[00:03.04] Hush, my little one

[00:03.31] You must be exhausted

[00:04.10] (sung)

[00:04.36] Sleep, my little Kovu

[00:05.16] Let your dreams take wing

[00:06.76] One day when you're big and strong

[00:11.01] You will be a king!

[00:23.25] I've been exiled, persecuted

[00:25.64] Left alone with no defense

[00:33.08] But I dream a dream so pretty

[00:35.22] That I don't feel so depressed

[00:37.60] 'Cause it soothes my inner kitty

[00:40.26] And it helps me get some rest

[00:43.14] The sound of Simba's dying gasp

[00:45.53] His daughter squealing in my grasp

[00:50.04] His lionesses' mournful cry

[00:53.24] That's my lullaby!

[00:57.48] Now the past I've tried forgetting

[00:59.60] And my foes I could forgive

[01:02.00] Trouble is, I know it's petty

[01:04.38] But I hate to let them live

[01:07.04] So you found yourself somebody

[01:09.17] Who'll chase Simba up a tree

[01:11.29] Oh, the battle may be bloody

[01:13.95] But that kind of works for me

[01:16.88] The melody of angry growls

[01:20.61] A counterpoint of painful howls

[01:24.06] A symphony of death, oh my!

[01:27.51] That's my lullaby!
