DISNEY's SOUNDTRACK
     
 


Music: Menken, Alen
Lyrics: Schwartz, Stephen

with Jon Secada

man
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

woman
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

man
I thought our love would be so beautiful

woman
Somehow we made the whole world bright

Both
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night
But still my heart is singing
We were right

woman
If I never knew you
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

man
There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last...

Both
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

woman
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light

Both
And still my heart is singing
We were right

man
We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through

woman
Empty as the sky

Both
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you

 


I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a bright warm welcome will be waiting for me
And the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I just stay strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
I will go most anywhere to find the place where I belong

I am on my way
I can go the distance
I dont care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
I will go most anywhere to find where i belong

I Will beat the odds I can go the distance
I will face the world
Fearless, proud and strong
I will please the Gods
Until I find my heros welcome right where i belong.

 


(Meg)
If theres a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
Thats ancient history, been there done that

(Muses)
Who'd you think you're kidding
He's the earth and heaven to you
You try to keep it hidden
Honey we can see right through you
Girl cant concieve it
We know how you're feeling
And who you're thinking of

(Meg)
Oh, no chance no way, i wont say it no no

(Muses)
You swoon, you sigh
why deny it uh oh

(Meg)
Its still cliche I wont say I'm in Love

(Meg)
I thought my heart had learned it's lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is saying get a grip girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out

(Muses)
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby we're not buying
Hon we saw you hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown up
Where you're gonna hold up that you go got
Got it BAD

(Meg)
Oh, no chance no way, i wont say it no no

(Muses)
Give up
Give in
Check the grin you're in love

(Meg)
The scene wont play, i wont say it

(Muses)
You're doing flips, read our lips you're in love

(Meg)
You're way off bass, i wont say it
Get off my case, i wont say it

(Muses)
Girl, dont be proud
Its okay you're in love

(Meg)
At least out loud...
I wont say I'm in......love




Disney's Pocahontas Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

(Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Steven Schwartz)

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know ev'ry rock and tree and mountain
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until

You can paint with all the colors of the wind

 


(Elton John)

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away

An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for wide eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for ev'ryone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn

There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this starcrossed boyager
Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best


I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
Shenzi: And where do we feature?
Scar: Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!

{Spoken}
Banzai: Yeah, Be prepared. Yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh.
...For what?
Scar: For the death of the king.
Banzai: Why? Is he sick?
Scar: No, fool-- we're going to kill him. And Simba too.
Shenzi: Great idea! Who needs a king?
Shenzi (and then Banzai): No king! No king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa!
Scar: Idiots! There will be a king!
Banzai: Hey, but you said, uh...
Scar: I will be king! ...Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!
Shenzi and Banzai: Yaay! All right! Long live the king!
All Hyenas: Long live the king! Long live the king!
{Full song again}

Hyenas: It's great that we'll soon be connected.
With a king who'll be all-time adored.
Scar: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh... La! La! La!)
Meticulous planning
(We'll have food!)
Tenacity spanning
(Lots of food)
Decades of denial
(We repeat)
Is simply why I'll
(Endless meat)
Be king undisputed
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!
All :Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

 


What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

When he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind

And, oh, the shame
'Thoughta changin' my name
And I got downhearted
Ev'rytime that I...

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!
(repeat)

Hakuna... It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our proplem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!
(repeat)


(Music by Lebo M, Hans Zimmer, and Jay Rifkin; Lyrics by Julie Taymor)

SIMBA
Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day
How can I find my way home?

Home is an empty dream
Lost to the night
Father, I feel so alone

You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere

I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare

When will the dawning break
Oh endless night
Sleepless I dream of the day

When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can't find the way

You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere

I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare

CHORUS
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise

I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
And that the sun will shine

SIMBA/CHORUS
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise

I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
And that the sun will shine

SIMBA
I know
Yes, I know
The sun will rise
Yes I know
I know
The clouds must clear

I know that the night must end
I know that the sun will rise
And I'll hear your voice deep inside

I know that the night must end
And that the clouds must clear
The sun
The sun will rise
The sun
The sun will rise


CHORUS
Fatshe leso lea halalela (this land of our ancestors is holy)
Fatshe leso lea halalela

NALA
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home

The river's dry
The ground has broken
Now I must go
Now I must go

And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride

CHORUS NALA
Prideland I have no choice
My land I will find my way
Tear-stained Lea halela
Dry land
Take this Take this prayer
With you What lies out there
Fatshe leso Lea halela

CHORUS
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride

 


( Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Tim Rice, 1994)

RAFIKI
From the day we arrive on this planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There is more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

There is far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

RAFIKI/ CHORUS
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

 


(Mark Mancini, Jay Rifkin, and Lebo M.)

CHORUS
Ingonyama negw'enamabala
Ingonyama negw'enamabala

MUFASA
Night
And the spirit of life calling
Mamela
And a voice
With the fear of a child asking
Mamela

Wait
There's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have fiath
Have faith

They live in you
They live in me
They're watching over
Everything we see
In every creature
In every star
In your reflection
They live in you

They live in you
They live in me
They're watching over
Everything we see
In every creature
In every star
In your reflection
They live in you

CHORUS
Ingonyama negw'enamabala

 


I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way

I think it's time that you and I
Arrange a heart to heart

Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start

If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight

Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gona be King Simba's finest fling

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
