Song Lyrics: 'Father' by CJ Webster
Circle of Life > Music Division > Lyrics Team > Father
VERSE ONE (Jothra)
Mother, who were you,
Where did you go?
Who was my father,
Why can't I know?
Who am I, anyway,
What is my place?
Part of a bigger plan,
Or just empty space?
VERSE TWO (Simba)
Father, I miss you,
How long it's been.
Seems like forever,
But I remember when
You were my teacher,
You were my star.
I know you're within me,
But it feels so far.
CHORUS (Simba)
Father. So far above me,
Father. But you still love me,
Father. And so I want to be just like you.
VERSE THREE (Kovu)
My mother’s gone now,
My brother is too,
My father didn’t stay,
Him I never knew.
But I have a family,
One that is strong.
With you for a teacher,
I can't go wrong.
CHORUS (Kovu)
Father. So far above me.
Father. How can you love me?
Father. Can I ever be just like you?
VERSE FOUR (Jothra)
Prince of the kingdom,
My big brother’s dad,
Soon you’ll become king,
Why are you sad?
You should be happy,
Your dream will come true.
If I had a father,
I’d want him like you.
CHORUS (Jothra)
Father. Standing above me.
Father. Can you please love me?
Father. Oh, I want to be just like you.
Mother, who were you,
Where did you go?
Who was my father,
Why can't I know?
Who am I, anyway,
What is my place?
Part of a bigger plan,
Or just empty space?
VERSE TWO (Simba)
Father, I miss you,
How long it's been.
Seems like forever,
But I remember when
You were my teacher,
You were my star.
I know you're within me,
But it feels so far.
CHORUS (Simba)
Father. So far above me,
Father. But you still love me,
Father. And so I want to be just like you.
VERSE THREE (Kovu)
My mother’s gone now,
My brother is too,
My father didn’t stay,
Him I never knew.
But I have a family,
One that is strong.
With you for a teacher,
I can't go wrong.
CHORUS (Kovu)
Father. So far above me.
Father. How can you love me?
Father. Can I ever be just like you?
VERSE FOUR (Jothra)
Prince of the kingdom,
My big brother’s dad,
Soon you’ll become king,
Why are you sad?
You should be happy,
Your dream will come true.
If I had a father,
I’d want him like you.
CHORUS (Jothra)
Father. Standing above me.
Father. Can you please love me?
Father. Oh, I want to be just like you.
