Lyrics[]
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: 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
