Song Lyrics: "Whisper" by CJ Webster
(based on "A Child's Love Song" by CJ Webster)
A progressive song, taking place at various parts of the score instead of all in one go. The
beginning when Jothra and Zoay are cubs, the middle as Jothra returns to his lagoon as an
adolescent, and the final part of the song blending with a reprise of the medley to end the film.
VERSE ONE (Jothra, cub)
What is this feeling that I feel?
Is it my head or is it real?
I want to, to shout it, but I just cant.
There is no way she'd understand.
VERSE TWO (Zoay, cub)
He says he likes me and it shows,
But it goes deeper, this I know.
I know he, he loves me, and he's just shy.
But I can see it in his eyes.
CHORUS ONE (Jothra, cub)
I must whisper my love, you are young, so am I
But I could shout my love, from this earth to the sky
I have feelings for you, you know this is true
I wish I could tell you, how much I love you
CHORUS TWO (Zoay, cub)
As you whisper your love, just look up, here am I
I can feel your love, and I can't help but sigh
I'll stand by your side, as a friend who is true,
And someday, who knows? Perhaps a true love will bloom!
VERSE THREE (Jothra, adult)
A lot of time has passed since then,
But I can still remember when,
We were, together, you and I,
Two hearts under the sky.
CHORUS THREE (Jothra adult)
Please don't forget, when we were young, you and I
And I whispered my love, though I wanted to cry (out)
And though I still love you, I don't know what to do,
So I'll tell you out loud, so that you know that it's true.
CHORUS FOUR (Zoay, adult)
We were best friends, when we were young, you and I,
And now we're in love, which I cannot deny.
But now the best choice for my head and my heart
May not be the same, so we must be apart.
VERSE FOUR (Jothra, adult)
If wait I must, then wait I will.
I loved you then, I love you still.
Each day I love you, more and more.
And so I shall, forevermore.
REPRISE CHORUS (Jothra, part of the end medley)
I will whisper my love, and I'll shout it out loud!
The whisper for you, and the shout for the crowd!
By the Circle within, and the Circle above,
The vict'ry is ours; we are one by love!
