Confused about something

[Panda-chan]

I'm confused about a part during the song We Are One when Simba sings the final line, and Kiara looks at him kind of shocked or something. Simba looks up at Pride Rock, looks briefly confused, then smiles. What does this mean? I've always wondered this...

I believe that as Simba was singing the final line in front of Pride Rock Kiara was in awe of how easily and confidently he wore the role of leader, which was something she herself was confused and afraid of. Pride Rock behind Simba just increased this until Kiara might have had trouble putting her two images of Simba (fearless, flawless leader and loving father) together. Simba didn't know at first why Kiara was apprehensive, but then looked up at Pride Rock, which was the symbol of everything a leader was, and the symbol of everything Kiara had to be one day. He then understood that Pride Rock was maybe not the most reassuring backdrop he could have chosen for the final line. (though it was definitely an inspiring one) Then of course, he came down and became the father again, rather than the leader.

I always took it to be the following:

Kiara is terrified of having to be the Queen one day. Simba launches into "We Are One" - reassuring her that she CAN do the job and that her family will always be there to support her. Simba then winds up with Pride Rock - the literally seat of power - behind him. Kiara is reminded of her fears. Simba realizes that Kiara is again uneasy, then realizes WHY she is uneasy and is kind of embarassed.
