My Lullaby lyrics

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

I`ve been exiled, persucuted
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 know it`s pretty
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 kinda 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

VITANI
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!
I can hear the cheering

NUKA
Kovu! What a guy!

ZIRA
Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a blood-red sky
That`s my lullaby!
