My Lullaby

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

I've been exiled, persecuted
Left alone with no defense
When I think of what that brute did
I get a little tense
But I dream a dream so pretty
That I don't feel so depressed
And it soothes my inner kitty
And it helps me get some rest

The sound of Simba's dying gasp
His daughter squealing in my grasp
His lionesses' mournful cry
That's my lullaby

Now the past I've tried forgetting
And my foes I could forgive
Trouble is, I knows it's petty
But I hate to let them live

So I found myself somebody
Who'd chase Simba up a tree
And the battle may be bloody
But that kind of works for me

The melody of angry growls
A counterpoint of painful howls
A symphony of death, oh my
That's my lullaby

Sleep, my little termite
I mean, precious little thing
One day when you're big and strong
You will be a king

The pounding of the drums of war
The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar
The joy of vengeance, testify
I can hear the cheering
Kovu, what a guy
Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a blood-red sky
That's my lullaby
Sweet dreams, little prince
Goodnight
