Braelyn Rankins - I Always Wanted a Brother


[YOUNG TAKA]
When I am king
No other animal will break my stride, break my stride
And my brother

[YOUNG MUFASA]
My brother

[YOUNG TAKA]
When I'm king, you'll always take my side

[YOUNG MUFASA]
Ha! Yeah, right

[YOUNG TAKA]
That's right
When I am king

[YOUNG MUFASA]
When you are king

[YOUNG TAKA]
No other animal will break our pride, break our pride
And my brother

[YOUNG MUFASA]
My brother
[YOUNG TAKA]
Our prey may run away, but they can't hide

[YOUNG MUFASA]
Watch your hide

[YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go
Let's go

[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go!

[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Mama say
You could be up this late?

[YOUNG MUFASA]
Okay, she didn't say
Either way

[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Hide away, let's go

[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Father say
You could be out this far?

[YOUNG TAKA]
Okay, we're on our way

[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
On our way
Run away, let's go

[ENSEMBLE]
Hеy, did your Mama say
You could be up this late?

[YOUNG TAKA & YOUNG MUFASA]
Ha-ha! You're vеry sharp
Yes, you are (Ooh, ah)
Yes, you are (Eeh, ah), let's go

[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Father say
You could be out this far?

[YOUNG TAKA]
Make a wish on the brightest star, and I say

I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
Just like you

[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
And I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
Just like you

[YOUNG MUFASA, spoken]
You see that tree?

[YOUNG MUFASA]
Those birds are watching the world unfold

[YOUNG TAKA]
The world unfold?
Oh, brother

[YOUNG MUFASA]
My brother

[YOUNG TAKA]
When I'm king, they will do as they're told

[YOUNG MUFASA]
You may look down on them, but they are free

[YOUNG TAKA]
You can't catch me

[YOUNG MUFASA]
And where they go cannot be controlled

[YOUNG TAKA]
No one looks down on me

[YOUNG MUFASA]
They look down on us, brother

[YOUNG TAKA]
Ha!

[YOUNG MUFASA]
Some things you chase but you cannot hold

[YOUNG TAKA]
Okay, it's getting old
Let's go

[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go!

[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Mama say
That you could learn this way?

[YOUNG TAKA]
I've got to find a way
Find our prey

[YOUNG MUFASA]
Fine, I'll wait

[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go!

[ENSEMBLE]
Hey

[ANIMAL]
I heard his father say
He doesn't want this stray

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh!

[YOUNG TAKA]
I dare you to say that again to my face

What did you say 'bout my brother?
That's not a stray, that's my brother
You stay away from my brother
'Cause I say so

[YOUNG TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
If you put your paws on my brother
You'll meet the jaws of his brother

[YOUNG TAKA]
Those are the laws for my brother

[YOUNG TAKA, spoken]
Where'd he go?

[YOUNG MUFASA]
I always wanted a brother
I still remember my mother
One season after another

[ENSEMBLE & YOUNG MUFASA]
One season after another (Another, another)

[ENSEMBLE]
One season after another
One season after another

[TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
Everyone sing for my brother (Hey)
Do anything for my brother (Hey)
Soon, I'll be king with my brother (Hey)
By my side (Hey)

[MUFASA & ENSEMBLE]
I always wanted a brother (Hey)

[MUFASA & TAKA, ENSEMBLE]
Now, we rely on each other (Hey)
One season after another (Hey)

[TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
Hey, Mufasa! (Hey)

[MUFASA]
Yes, Taka?

[TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
I'll race you to the other side? (Hey)

[MUFASA & ENSEMBLE]
Race you to the other side (Hey)

[MUFASA & TAKA]
Race you to the other side, ha!

Mads Mikkelsen - Bye Bye


[KIROS]
You say you're the king, but you lie
Around in the shade, out of shape, unafraid
The moon cuts a path through the sky
By night or by day, it doesn't obey
And neither do I

You took my son
I hope you can run

'Cause I'm gonna be the last thing you see
Before you go, bye-bye
There you go, bye-bye
Climb every tree across land and sea
I'll make you go, bye-bye
I make you go, bye-bye

Everything in my clutches, ha, bye-bye!
Everything the light touches

The circle of lifе is a lie
A pretty way to say therе are predators and prey
That circle of vultures up high
They keep stealing glances, they don't like your chances
And neither do I
I run my pride
You run and hide

'Cause I'm gonna be the last thing you see
Before you go, bye-bye
There you go, bye-bye
Climb every tree across land and sea
Until you go, bye-bye
Will you go? Bye-bye

Bye-bye for vengeance is mine

[LIONS]
Oh

[KIROS]
If I'm the last of my line, I must be strong

[LIONS]
Like a dream that just doesn't let up, let up
And you scream 'cause you cannot get up, get up

[KIROS]
Oh

[KIROS & LIONS]
Bye-bye
[KIROS]
I'll make you go

[KIROS & LIONS]
Bye-bye

[LIONS]
So long

[KIROS]
Bye-bye

Aaron Pierre - We Go Together


[RAFIKI]
If you wanna go fast, go alone
There's the road
Off you go
But if you wanna go far
We go together
So good, so far, we go together

[ZAZU & ENSEMBLE]
Your father left you in my care (Woah, woah-oh)
And now we're running who-knows-where (Woah, woah-oh)
Sometimes, you need a bird's-eye view

[SARABI & ENSEMBLE]
And I've got you to see me through (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
By land, by air (Ha, ha, ha)

[RAFIKI]
If you wanna go fast, go alone

[SARABI]
Day and night

[RAFIKI]
There's the road

[SARABI]
I just might

[RAFIKI]
Off you go

[SARABI]
Yeah, alright

[SARABI, RAFIKI & ZAZU]
If you wanna go far
We go together
So good, so far, we go together

[ZAZU]
Hee-hee

[MUFASA]
I will find my family again
I will walk with you until then
I will walk with you 'til the end
It's much easier with a friend

[MUFASA & SARABI, ZAZU, ENSEMBLE]
(Yoohoo) I will find my family again (Woah, woah-oh)
(Bird's-eye view) I will walk with you until then (Woah, woah-oh)
(Me and you) I will walk with you 'til the end
(Flying through) It's much easier with a friend

[TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
Like clouds and rain (Woah, woah-oh)
Like a meal in a field of grain (Woah, woah-oh)
Like the flecks of gold in your mane, Sarabi (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
You and me, we go together (Ha, ha, ha)

[TAKA, ZAZU, MUFASA & SARABI]
(Yoohoo) Like clouds and rain (We will find our family again)
(Bird's-eye view) Like a meal in a field of grain (We will walk together 'til then)
(Me and you) Like the flecks of gold in your mane, Sarabi (We will find our way to you)
(Flying through) You and me, we go together (It's much easier with a friend)

[RAFIKI, ZAZU, TAKA, MUFASA & SARABI]
My brother waits for me to find him (Yoohoo), like the sea and skies (We will find our family again)
My brother knows I'm right behind him (Bird's-eye view), like the bird that sings at sunrise (We will walk together 'til then)
My brother tends to lose his way (Me and you), like the flecks of gold in your eyes, Sarabi (We will find our way to the end)
And go astray, say, if you see my brother, please remind him (Flying through), you and I, we go together (It's much easier with a friend)

[RAFIKI, spoken]
What?

[ALL]
It's much easier with a friend

[RAFIKI, spoken]
Again!

[ALL]
It's much easier

We won't (We won't)
Go alone (Not alone)
Here we go (Here we go)
Down the road (Down the road)
'Cause we're gonna go far (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
We go together
So good, so far (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
We go together

Ha! (Hoo-hoo-hoo)

Aaron Pierre - Tell Me It's You

[ Featuring Tiffany Boone ]

[MUFASA]
Ever since you appeared
I've been running from something deep inside
And it's worse than I feared
'Cause I look in your eyes and I can't hide
I push you away

[SARABI]
Don't push me away

[MUFASA]
But the feelings come back, just twice as strong
I don't know what to say

[SARABI]
You know just what to say

[MUFASA]
But I know that I'm right where I belong

[SARABI]
The way you know just where to be

[MUFASA]
I don't know

[SARABI]
The way you move, the way you see

[MUFASA]
You see me

[SARABI]
The way you feel when you're with me

[MUFASA & SARABI]
Beside me

[SARABI]
Don't hide from me anymore

Tell me it's you, I know it's you

[MUFASA]
What do I say? Wherе do I go? How do I know you feel the same?

[SARABI]
Tell mе it's you, I know it's you

[MUFASA]
Quiet and low, letting it go, letting you know what's in me
Everywhere that I roam

[MUFASA & SARABI]
I remind myself not to overstay

[MUFASA]
Every time I find home

[MUFASA, MUFASA & SARABI]
Somethin' happens to take that home away

[MUFASA]
But you've seen what I've seen

[SARABI]
I see you

[MUFASA, MUFASA & SARABI]
As you lead with a strength that shines right through

[MUFASA]
You move like a queen, a true queen

[MUFASA, MUFASA & SARABI]
Don't let anything take me away from you

[SARABI]
Tell me it's you, I know it's you

[MUFASA]
Say it again, say it again, tell me I'll always be with you

[SARABI]
Tell me it's you, I know it's you

[MUFASA]
Say it again, say it again, tell me you're always with me

[SARABI]
The way you know just where to be

[MUFASA]
Now I know

[SARABI]
The way you move, the way you see

[MUFASA]
I see you

[SARABI]
The love I feel when you're with me

[MUFASA & SARABI]
Beside me, beside me

[MUFASA]
Say it again, say it again, say it again
Tell me the world won't interfere

[SARABI]
Say it again, say it again
Tell me the words I wanna hear

[MUFASA & SARABI]
Say it again, say it again
Open your eyes and here we go

I know it's you
I know it's you

Kelvin Harrison Jr. - Brother Betrayed

[TAKA]
You know I love her, my brother
There's nothing we keep from each other
I saved your life
This is how you repay me?

What do I do? What does it mean?
How do I ever unsee what I've seen?
He was my kin, she was my queen
Now's it's broken forever and—

"Tell her it's you, she knows it's you"
What did you say to her, what did you do?
I'm next in line, she should be mine, ha!
Are the ancestors laughing, I—

What would they say? Father is gone
Not before giving me strength to go on
He never trusted you, did he know
You'd betray me so?

When you were drowning, I pulled you out
I gave you life which you lived in my debt
Now I'm the one drowning, tumbling down
Trying to escape what I cannot forget

I have a brother no longer, it's over and done
Now all I have is this shame and this rage that I can't
Out-
run

The 2024 American animated musical drama film Mufasa: The Lion King has original songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a score composed by Dave Metzger. The film's soundtrack album features seven songs and was released on December 13, 2024, through Walt Disney Records; a deluxe edition released on the same day includes the score and instrumental tracks.

Metzger's score was also released on December 20, 2024, as its own digital album. The film is a prequel and sequel to The Lion King (2019), a photorealistically animated remake of The Lion King (1994); Miranda collaborated on the songs with South African composer Lebo M, who was involved with the 1994 film. Production on the album was handled by Miranda, Mark Mancina, and Tom MacDougall.

The soundtrack features vocal contributions from the South African Gospel Choir, who also sing in Swahili and Zulu. A brief version of "Hakuna Matata", by Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen voicing Timon and Pumbaa, appears in the film but is not included on the album.

The track "Tell Me It's You" was shortlisted in the category of Best Original Song for the upcoming 97th Academy Awards.
