The Lion King 2- My Lullaby

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, 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 know it's petty, but I hate to let them live
   So you found yourself somebody who'd chase Simba up a tree
Oh, the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me

The melody of angry growls
The 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
Until he learns to be a killer with a lust for being bad
   Sleep you little termite! uh... I mean, precious little thing
One day when you're big and strong you will be a king

The pounding of drums of war, the thrill of Kovu's mighty roar
The joy of vengeance
   Testify!
I can hear the cheering
   Kovu! What a guy!

Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a blood red sky
That's my lullaby
