Lyrics

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala	Here is a lion and a tiger
(repeat)
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling
Mamela	Listen
And a voice
With the fear of a child
Answers
Oh, mamela	Listen
Ubukhosi bo khokho	Throne of the ancestors
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke	Oh, son of the nation
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith
Hela hey mamela	Hey, listen
(repeat)
Chorus:
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala	Here is a lion and a tiger
(repeat)
So wait
There's no mountain too great
Hear the words and have faith
Have faith
(repeat chorus 2x)

The Lion King Musical

The song is used twice in the musical, once in each act. In the first act, the song is called They Live In You. In the second act, the song is called He Lives In You (Reprise).

They Live In You

During the first act it is performed by Mufasa to young Simba as They Live In You. The lyrics were changed slightly to represent the Great Kings of the Past.

Lyrics

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala	Here is a lion and a tiger
(repeat 2x)
Night
And the spirit of life calling
Mamela	Listen
And a voice
With the fear of a child asking
Oh, mamela	Listen
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
Have faith
They live in you
They live in me
They're watching over
Everything we see
In every creature
In every star
In your reflection
They live in you
(repeat 2x)
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala	Here is a lion and a tiger
(repeat and fade out)

He Lives In You (Reprise)

In the second act, the song is sung by Rafiki, the chorus and adult Simba as He Lives in You (Reprise). The first part of the song is fairly subdued and sung by Rafiki and the chorus. Mufasa's ghost appears and instructs Simba to return home and take his rightful place as King. After Mufasa's ghost fades, Simba realizes that he must take responsibility and return home. At this, there is an instrumental break, after which the song becomes livelier and Simba joins in the celebratory singing.

Lyrics

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala	Here is a lion and a tiger
(repeat 2x)
Night and the spirit of life calling, mamela
And a voice just the fear of a child answers, mamela
Ubukhosi bo khokho	Throne of the ancestors
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke	Oh, son of the nation
Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
Have faith
Chorus:
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
(repeat chorus)
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
He lives in you
(repeat chorus 2x)
