He Will Be King
A Lion King song by Zazu
Sung for Simba's presentation on Endless Round MUCK, 12/2/05
Aiheu abamami! Aiheu abamami!
The path unwinds, the road rolls on, the river runs!
A prince is born, a prince survives, come pay him your regards.
In years to come his roar will chill your spine!
He will be King!
King of the steps we take,
King of the trail we make,
King of the air that we breathe in―
King of all things!
King of our destinies,
King of our reveries,
King of our hunger and our anger and our stride.
Aiheu abamami! Aiheu shall provide!
The lion is the lord of creatures great and small.
His stewardship is not because his wisdom is so great,
But because he sits atop the web of life!
He will be King!
King of the joy we seek,
King of the strong and weak,
King of the water that we drink―
King of all things!
King of the stones we turn,
King of the laws we learn,
King of our memories, our families, our pride.
Aiheu abamami! Aiheu gives us love!
Our prince is crowned, our mantle passed, our love bestowed.
Mufasa rules! May Simba rule so well in time.
In years to come his majesty will shine!
He will be King!
King of the blood we spill,
King of the food we kill,
King of the life it helps us keep―
King of all things!
King of our greatest fears,
King past his mortal years,
King
of
our universe, our kingdom far and wide.
