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

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

Sleep, my little Kovu
Let your dreams take wing
One day when you're big and strong
You will be a king

In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need
To face the world alone

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

She'll be there
To guide and protect you
She will be there
To see it through

I was born in times of misery and pain
Throughout my life, I've never known happiness
Melody, my true love and company
In her song, she helps me carry on

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight

In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need
To face the world alone
