My Lullaby is sung by Zira, Nuka and Vitani, after the scene where Kovu, accidentally, gave Zira the idea the he could get to Kiara, then to Simba.
Lyrics[]
Zira:
- Sleep, my little Kovu.
- Let your dreams take wing.
- One day when you're big and strong,
- You will be a king.
Kovu:
- Good night...
Zira:
- Good night, my little prince.
- Tomorrow, your training intensifies.
Zira:
- 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.
- 'Cause 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!
Nuka:
- So you found yourself somebody who'd chase Simba up a tree!
Zira:
- Oh, 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.
- Scar is gone, but Zira's still around
- To love this little lad.
- Till he learns to be a killer
- With a lust for being bad!
Nuka:
- Sleep, ya little termite!
- Uh--I mean, precious little thing!
- One day when you're big and strong--
Zira:
- --You will be a king!
- The pounding of the drums of war;
- The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar!
Nuka:
- The joy of vengeance!
Vitani:
- Testify!
Zira:
- I can hear the cheering!
Nuka and Vitani:
- Kovu! What a guy!
Zira:
- Payback time is nearing,
- And then our flag will fly!
- Against a blood-red sky...
- That's my lullaby!
