When I am king
No other animal will break my stride
Break my stride
And my brother
My brother
When I'm king
You'll always take my side
Ha
Yeah right
That's right
When you are king
No other animal will break our pride
Break our pride
Our prey may run away
But they can't hide
Watch your hide
Let's go
Hey
Did your mama say
You could be up this late?
Okay
She didn't say
Either way
Hide away
Did your father say
You could be out this far?
We're on our way
On our way
Run away
You could be out this late?
You're really sharp
Yes you are
Make a wish on the brightest star
And I say
I always wanted a brother
Just like you
And I always wanted a brother
See that tree?
Those birds are watching the world unfold
The world unfold
Oh brother
They will do as they're told
You may look down on them
They are free
You can't catch me
And where they go
Cannot be controlled
No one looks down on me
They look down on us brother
Some things you chase
But you cannot hold
It's getting old
That you could learn this way?
I've got to
Find a way
I heard his father say
He doesn't want this stray
Ooh
I dare you to say that again
To my face
What did you say 'bout my brother?
That's not a stray
That's my brother
You stay away from my brother
'Cause I say so
If you put your paws on my brother
You'll meet the jaws of his brother
Those are the laws for my brother
Where'd he go?
I still remember my mother
One season after another
Everyone sing for my brother
Do anything for my brother
Soon I'll be king with my brother
By my side
Now we rely on each other
Hey Mufasa
Yes Taka?
I'll race you to the other side
Race you to the other side
