[00:00.00](Zira)
[00:00.00]Hush my little one,
[00:03.38]you must be exhausted;
[00:08.40]Sleep, my little Kovu,
[00:11.83]let your dreams take wing;
[00:15.11]one day when you're big and strong,
[00:19.41]you will be a king.
[00:31.88]I've been exiled,
[00:33.17]persecuted,
[00:35.03]left alone with no defense;
[00:37.23]when I think of what
[00:38.87]that brute did,
[00:40.01]I get a little tense.
[00:42.56]But I dream a dream so pretty;
[00:44.98]that I don't feel so depressed.
[00:47.31]'Cause it soothes my inner kitty,
[00:50.11]and it helps me get some rest.
[00:52.60]The sound of Simba's dying gasp!
[00:56.08]His daughter squealing in my grasp!
[00:59.96]His lionesses' mournful cry!
[01:03.96]That's my lullaby!
[01:07.94]Now the past I've tried
[01:09.19]forgetting,
[01:10.41]and my foes I could
[01:11.58]forgive,
[01:12.91]trouble is I know It's
[01:14.15]petty,
[01:15.44]but I hate to let them live.
[01:17.79](Nuke)
[01:17.79]So you found yourself somebody,
[01:19.93]who'd chase Simba up a tree;
[01:22.72](Zira)
[01:22.72]Oh the battle may be bloody,
[01:25.20]but that kinda works for me.
[01:27.96]The melody of angry growls,
[01:31.56]a counter point of painful howls,
[01:35.46]a symphony of death, oh my!
[01:39.44]That's my lullaby!
[01:43.42]Scar- is- gone-,
[01:45.65]but Zira's still around;
[01:47.91]to love this little lad,
[01:51.38]'till he learns to be killer,
[01:55.03]with a lust for being bad!
[02:02.53](Nuke)
[02:02.56]Sleep; ya little termite!
[02:04.63]Uh- I mean precious little thing!
[02:07.44](Vitani)
[02:07.44]One day when you're big and strong;
[02:10.68](Zira)
[02:10.72]You will be a king!
[02:15.71]The pounding of the drums of war;
[02:18.95]the thrill of Kovu's mighty roar.
[02:21.94](Nuke)
[02:22.09]The joy of vengeance;
[02:22.94](Vitani)
[02:23.25]Testify!
[02:24.15](Zira)
[02:25.24]I can hear the cheering;
[02:27.05](Kovu! What a guy!)
[02:29.02]Payback time is nearing,
[02:30.92]and then our flag will fly,
[02:34.21]against a blood-red sky!
[02:37.96]That's my lullaby!
