Amid a terrible drought, young Mufasa’s parents (voiced by Keith David and Anika Noni Rose) sing to him about a mythical land where their pride is heading, where everything is green and there are bountiful amounts of food for all the animals.
[ENSEMBLE]
Sekuseduzani, empumalanga
Entshonalanga, sala ngoxolo
[AFIA]
Beyond the horizon
Beyond the last cloud in the sky
There's a place I know
[ENSEMBLE]
Siqhubek'ekhaya s'ofika
[AFIA & ENSEMBLE]
Imagine a kingdom (Ngothando, ngothando)
The water flows, the grass is high (S'ofika)
It's not a dream (Ngothando)
Someday, we'll go
We call it (Tunaita)
Milele (Milele)
It's always there (Daimaiko)
Milele (Milele)
It lives in you, it lives in me (Sekuseduzani)
You'll see (Milele)
[MASEGO & AFIA]
Life, great and small (The circle of life is not small)
[AFIA & MASEGO]
We know that there's enough for all (But there's enough for all)
[AFIA & MASEGO]
There is always more
[AFIA]
Can you feel it?
[MASEGO]
Can you feel it?
[MASEGO & AFIA]
We're on your side (We'll wander no longer)
[AFIA, MASEGO & ENSEMBLE]
We carry ancestors inside (Like a constant tide) (S'ofika)
It's not a dream, can you see it? (On an endless shore) (Ngothando)
And as you grow, can you find your way? (Can you see it?)
[MASEGO & ENSEMBLE]
We call it (Sekuseduzani)
[AFIA & MASEGO, ENSEMBLE]
Milele (Sekuseduzani, Milele)
It's always there (Sekuseduzani, daimaiko)
Milele (Empumalanga, sala ngoxolo)
We call it (Sekuseduzani, daimaiko)
Milele (Empumalanga, sala ngoxolo)
It's always there (Sekuseduzani, daimaiko)
Milele (Empumalanga, sala ngoxolo)
It lives in you, it lives in me (Ngoxolo)
We're free
