I feel like so many people forget that a very strong aspect of lion king is the acceptance of death of loved ones and moving on with it, often making us stronger. This is the song where it reminded me of this message when I saw it at the west end recently, and I was just reminded how GOOD the lion king is. Chills. Too many chills bruh.
My grandfather, who raised me, recently passed away and The Lion King was our movie. The scene were simba and mufasa say 'were pals right?' and discuss the kings of the past was a very special scene for us. I had never heard this song until after he passed (I had only seen the animated movie) So when I heard this song...it was like a whole other part of my heart was just opened up and made new again. I cried sooooo hard, happy, sad, everything. Your comment really brought a deeper realization to this part of me and the strong connection I have to the story of The Lion King.
Veronica Rodriguez this song is in the second movie right at the start. Please watch it. This is the second films equivalent of “the circle of life”. It’s great.
I just saw this in New York and I was basically sobbing during this song. It's moving just to hear it, but it's even more moving when you see it performed.
I saw this back in 2009 with my school choir during my senior year and you are absolutely right. It's SO powerful to see it and feel the emotion and energy radiating from the stage and performers positioned all around the theatre. It moved me to tears then, and hearing it 8 years later still does.
I saw it in the West End a few years ago and I was quietly sobbing through this song and at the end of the show, I was a mess. I had just lost my great aunt weeks before and I was still grieving. This reminds me of how I felt about losing her😭
People are talking about how surreal it is to see it performed, but when you are the one performing it, it makes it so much more surreal... this song means so much to me and lion king has been and will be one of my favorite shows I have performed
Performing in any play or musical is surreal, at least to me. Back in 2019, my dance studio was performing the musical Cats. My family took me to see it when it was being performed in San Jose, and to be on stage dancing as Bombalurina about a month later was so surreal to me.
If anyone wants to know, when Rafiki says “Ubukhosi khokhobo” that translates to “this is the throne of our ancestors” and when the ensemble says “We ndodona yesizwesonke” that translates to “oh this son of our nation”
One thing I love about Lion King is how it allows the audience to go on somewhat of a spiritual journey. Whatever deity you believe in, this song can resonate with that.
this song makes me think of God, and of those I love that have passed on...spiritual and beautiful in so many ways. This song just Connects you and uplifts, no matter what you think of when listening. I cant put into words how beautiful it is...
I'm agnostic so I don't have a religion or any belief I belong to, but I truly feel that when listening and or hearing this song. It's so beautiful, it's amazing what music can do to the heart.
Just reading these comments make me want to cry. They are all so caring, so meaningful. My grandfather recently passed away and he loved this movie. My father and I often watch it and this is our favorite song in both Lion King, Lion King 2, and the musical.
me too. it reminds me of him. i can't watch The Lion King because of it lol, maybe you can relate. way too painful. I'm sorry for your loss. the song is true, though. they live in us even though they're no longer physically here.
***** Aww. Thank you so much for sharing that. That must have been very difficult to go through. I had a very different relationship with my grandmother. We actually didn't get along at all when I was young. As I grew older, I realized that my grandmother knew me better than everyone else in my life and a lot of our interaction was her protecting me from people that just didn't get me. I look back and now realize how much she made me stronger. I'm so glad I had the chance, though very brief, to tell her that I get it now and to thank her. Ya know the song says "He (she) lives in you..." Our grandmothers, eternalsweetheart, they live in us. No matter what our last days with them were like, they left an indelible presence in our lives that will guide us forever. Your grandmother is still with you. I know because you felt her when you read my little statement, when you listen to that song, when you heard it for the very first time. She is speaking to you and reminding you not only that you love her, but that she loves you still. She lives in you. She will forever. And you know what, she's amazing I know, because you love and miss her. Again, thanks for sharing. It's nice to know when other people feel what we feel, that we are not alone in our feelings even if the other person is someone we will never meet. Much love, sweetie. *kiss* Light
***** Jesy, I am well old enough to be your mom; yet, you have just brought me to tears. I've been going through so some stuff right now, and so she has been on my mind so very much the past few weeks. My grandmother was a tough lady, and she saw a strength and a power in me that I couldn't completely understand when I was your age. What she wanted me to understand and remember for the rest of my life is that I should never hide my power or dim my light because other people don't know how to handle me. She taught me to be true to myself and ignite that light and let it shine as bright as its gonna, and I really needed to be reminded of that right now. I hear her voice so clearly right at this moment, and I thank you for that. You are such a smart and articulate kid. I'm very impressed by you. But, please take from this another encouraging thought. As you grow older, some days will still be hard, some days you'll forget the pain; but, even when you get to be in your forties like me, you will always be able to hear her voice. One day you'll need her and she'll speak to you, and her voice will be so clear. So, live your life, baby girl, in a way that will make your grandmother so proud. Because on those days you'll imagine her smiling at you, and it will feel like her face is right in front of you, and you'll smile too... and you'll feel her love wrap itself around you. And do me a favor, please don't forget me. I know I will never forget the day a 15 year old kid I don't even know reminded me that I am strong enough to take on the world. :) I'm going to play Mama now for a second and remind you, do not put your real name and age in a public forum. I'm glad you did, because I feel like I know you a little bit, and it makes this exchange all the more amazing. But, please be careful when you're here on the internet. It feels like your just in your house, because that's where you are. But, when you're on the internet you are face to face with the whole world. Be careful and be safe, baby girl. Funny thing. I think my grandma and your grandma met some where and hooked up this little exchange. See how much they love us, and how much they still affect us. They're with us... forever. Much love, baby girl. Be safe. Light -- *kiss*
I would buy tickets to see this all the time if I had the money... I've seen it before and I would go back any day. Going to ask for tickets to see this for my birthday, so worth it!
I know the movie is powerful but the broadway really expresses all those different emotions and really overpowers us as an audience. I literally cried when it started and would 100% see it again in future.
When I saw the Lion King on brodway, it hypnotized me, and I never wanted it to end. The show had increased my interests on Stage/ Theater. This song took me away, and I can remember the show everytime I hear it
I don’t have a sob story or anything to anyone else, but I still sit here crying. I have Peter Pan syndrome, were I fear growing up and grow too mentally attacked to my childhood. My elementary school did this play for our school play when I was in sixth grade. This musical was such a happy time in my life, I wasn’t a very social kid and had little friends but being in this musical gave me friends. The people I got to work with were app so amazing and made the experience so amazing. This was our last song, I remember on the last day, I just sobbed to this song, I didn’t care if I was front and center on stage, this song brought so much emotion. This year was also my last year of elementary school, I was being forced to leave my childhood. This song still brings me to so many tears listening to it, I miss being this happy.
When I hear this song it makes me love human kind. The time and effort they put into this play the costumes just for our enjoyment is outstanding. I freekin love this movie and this play it could not have been done better. I applaud EVERYONE WHO EVER WAS INVOLVED IN THIS
This song is so beautiful and full of such emotion. It also shows acceptance of death and sadness which is so powerful and important. And the ending makes me want to sob. Simba finally coming to terms with what has happened and what he needs to do accepting his fate. It’s so amazing and beautiful.
Yesterday I saw the play in Mexico City and when I hear this song it was really awesome and I cried because my grandmother dead last week but with this song I felt like she was always with me along with other people who has passed away. Excellent music show and with message.
Oscar Ojeda Lara Interestingly, the live version i saw a week ago here in Mexico is waaaay better (in my opinion) in the voices, this recording feels bigger but not more emotional. The spanish CD version becomes awful when Rivera starts singing
That's what the song is about. It's okay to feel sad about death and tragedy. We just have to remember to move forward with the memories we shared together.
This was probably one of the best Broadway musicals I have seen on Broadway and I'm a jaded New Yorker. I was bawling my eyes out from the beginning on and off throughout the show...goose bumps all over. If anyone hasn't seen it yet, must see for any age!
Saw this in downtown Seattle and I had goosebumps the entire time. My friend and I will play this all the time and sing it with each other, it's so amazing and wonderfully written
My grandmother and I were never really too close, but I knew she loved me much as I loved her in return.. She died three years ago. and I couldn't say goodbye. My mom (her daughter) was in grief for two years and I could help my mom to understand that her mother is never gone, she lives in my mom. Wherever she is. So thank you broadway and disney
i knew this song from lion king 2 but the context here is hauntingly beautiful. especially taking in that this was the last thing Simba's father ever said to him. well, besides "AAAAAAAAAAGH!"
I went to New york a couple years back and went to a broadway workshop for this. Met Simba’s understudy, Joel, he was incredibly nice and we learned the dance to this and also saw the show! It was amazing!!
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Night and the spirit of life calling Oh, oh, iyo, mamela And the voice with the fear of a child answers Iyo iyo, mamela Wait, there's no mountain too great Hear these words and have faith Oh, oh, iyo Have faith Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela He lives in you, he lives in me He watches over everything we see Into the waters, into the truth In your reflection, he lives in you Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers Iyo mamela Wait, there's no mountain too great Hear these words and have faith, oh, oh, iyo He lives in you, he lives in me He watches over everything we see Into the waters, into the truth In your reflection, he lives in you Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama…
I love this so much. the movie is for us as children but the musical....that really speaks to us as adults. lionking: there for you in all stages of life. truly #timeless
+Disney Music Videos I think we may have been at the same performance! I was taken there a couple nights ago by complete surprise, and this was my favorite part. I'd seen it before, but I won't forget how lively this year's tour was.
I have The Lion King on VHS(watch it like 1000 times plus no joke), saw it in 3D when it came to theaters , got it on DVD and watched it 1000 times more, saw the life production of it in Buffalo at Shea's theater(phenomenal) I actually own this soundtrack which = my childhood!!!!!!!!
Chinenye Ibegbu omg same! I watched it on VHS and DVD for a year and stoped when I saw the musical only to listen to the soundtrack every day for 6 months😂
Just saw this show in OKC last night; this song was one of the best in the entire show. This was Simba's big turning point and Rafiki's performance was filled with emotion and power. If you ever get the chance to see this live, do so. It's impressive.
It was at this point that I cried when I saw the musical. This was always one of my favourites from the movies, and to see it performed live... There were no words
I just saw this show for the first time last night and had no idea this song was in it. I had to look into it, since I only know the song from the movies sequel. I thought it fit so perfectly into this story. Turns out it was written after the movie, inspired by the movie, so they used it for the Broadway show and a version was used in the sequel movie. This was the best part of the show, for sure. I was sobbing.
I'm going to be doing this show and auditions are in a few weeks...I'm trying out for Rafiki (mainly because I LOVE this song and Circle of Life). Wish me luck!
Just saw that this (or a version of it) is on the official soundtrack for the new film, I'm beyond excited! After watching the stage production, this song came away as my favorite, I was hoping they'd use its power to make the film that much stronger. Happy to hear they are!
I sang this song at a callback today for my school musical. It’s so touching, and I completely feel like I want to send the message out to people on the stage, you know? I just wanna be there telling people the message of this song because it means so much!!!
I feel like so many people forget that a very strong aspect of lion king is the acceptance of death of loved ones and moving on with it, often making us stronger. This is the song where it reminded me of this message when I saw it at the west end recently, and I was just reminded how GOOD the lion king is. Chills. Too many chills bruh.
My grandfather, who raised me, recently passed away and The Lion King was our movie. The scene were simba and mufasa say 'were pals right?' and discuss the kings of the past was a very special scene for us.

Leanne Needs a Life my father passed in January and this is the first time I’ve thought and accepted it.
I needed this
Coco also reassures that our loved ones are never gone unless you believe they are...
Veronica Rodriguez this song is in the second movie right at the start. Please watch it. This is the second films equivalent of “the circle of life”. It’s great.
I just saw this live about 5 hours ago and my soul still hasn't returned to my body
has your soul returned yet?
@@ThatChaoticSoul i wanna know as well
I saw this last night and I feel the same. Still haven't got over it yet.
Mood
I just saw this in New York and I was basically sobbing during this song. It's moving just to hear it, but it's even more moving when you see it performed.

saw it last year, was worth the travel expense from Paris to see this in Broadway
I saw it in the West End a few years ago and I was quietly sobbing through this song and at the end of the show, I was a mess. I had just lost my great aunt weeks before and I was still grieving. This reminds me of how I felt about losing her😭
Saw it when I was little (seventh birthday? I don’t remember), and I still remember this performance. It was... breathtaking.
You too😪
_"Simba...remember who you are"_
"Oh shit it's James Earl Jones!"
- Simba
"You are my son, and the one true King."
Nice Banjo-Kazooie profile.
That line made me cry
People are talking about how surreal it is to see it performed, but when you are the one performing it, it makes it so much more surreal... this song means so much to me and lion king has been and will be one of my favorite shows I have performed
Who did you play? It must’ve been a difficult musical to preform.
Performing in any play or musical is surreal, at least to me. Back in 2019, my dance studio was performing the musical Cats. My family took me to see it when it was being performed in San Jose, and to be on stage dancing as Bombalurina about a month later was so surreal to me.
this version is better then the one in the actual movie in my opinion
Your opinion is correct
James Morrow why thank you glad you agree to :)
both are great
true jonny
meaning lion king 2?
This song was part of the reason I loved the second lion king as much as the first one. The Broadway version is simply amazing!
+SgtPrice1000 this song is why there is a lion king 2
SgtPrice1000
I think Lion King (1) is much, much better!!!
Me too! I love the lion king 2 so so so much. And this song is a huge part of it!!
It was also performed in Zulu/Xhosa during the 2nd half of the end credits of the live-action Lion King
When a song makes you cry, uplifts you and gives you goosebumps at the same time, you know it’s a good song.
Goosebumps = that which is in Alignment with God.
If anyone wants to know, when Rafiki says “Ubukhosi khokhobo” that translates to “this is the throne of our ancestors” and when the ensemble says “We ndodona yesizwesonke” that translates to “oh this son of our nation”
That's cool; what language is it?
Thank you

My favorites are "Circle of life" and "Can you feel the love tonight"
this broadway soundtrack gives me so many chills
My Friend Played Rafiki In my School Production and her voice was so powerful sounded so much like the Rafiki In The Broadway Musical!
My Father Died. This song means so much to me.
I cried when I read this..sorry for your loss and I can see how much this song means to you. God bless🙏🏼
Me too.
+jono W im sorry for your lose man. this song makes me cry even with out losing someone. i couldn't imagine how you feel from this song added on
me too. it reminds me of him. i can't watch The Lion King because of it lol, maybe you can relate. way too painful. I'm sorry for your loss. the song is true, though. they live in us even though they're no longer physically here.

As long as somebody loves you, you will never truly die...
i watched this live last week and if given the chance i would watch the musical again in a heartbeat it was AMAZING
When I hear this song it makes me love human kind. The time and effort they put into this play the costumes just for our enjoyment is outstanding. I freekin love this movie and this play it could not have been done better. I applaud EVERYONE WHO EVER WAS INVOLVED IN THIS
Saw this on the 29th December last year at Edinburgh,Scotland. Absolutely Brilliant!. I did not want it to ever end!. Worth every penny and more!
If they don't play this at my funeral, I'm not coming.
This song was very great, it’s like it’s telling us that our departed loved ones and our ancestors watch over us in heaven.
I love all these songs but this one never fails to give me shivers.
I've seen this musical 3 times now, and this song still gets to me 🙈 its guaranteed I'll cry
This song is so beautiful and full of such emotion. It also shows acceptance of death and sadness which is so powerful and important. And the ending makes me want to sob. Simba finally coming to terms with what has happened and what he needs to do accepting his fate. It’s so amazing and beautiful.
Doing this for my choir concert. Wish me and the rest of the choir luck with a like!
I'm sure it was marvelous!!! This is a wonderful song for a choir!
Yesterday I saw the play in Mexico City and when I hear this song it was really awesome and I cried because my grandmother dead last week but with this song I felt like she was always with me along with other people who has passed away. Excellent music show and with message.

probably my favourite song of the whole show. (also one of the most underrated songs)
it's sad...but also very uplifting...
Word
Shoinie all the best stuff is
I saw this in New York and I cried like a baby during this song due to the pure beauty of the song.
That's what the song is about. It's okay to feel sad about death and tragedy. We just have to remember to move forward with the memories we shared together.
This was probably one of the best Broadway musicals I have seen on Broadway and I'm a jaded New Yorker. I was bawling my eyes out from the beginning on and off throughout the show...goose bumps all over. If anyone hasn't seen it yet, must see for any age!
I love ❤the power of music! This song has such a special meaning in my heart ❤ to know we are all loved !
Theres something so magical and powerful about this song! Its just beautiful!
Saw this in downtown Seattle and I had goosebumps the entire time. My friend and I will play this all the time and sing it with each other, it's so amazing and wonderfully written
My grandmother and I were never really too close, but I knew she loved me much as I loved her in return.. She died three years ago. and I couldn't say goodbye. My mom (her daughter) was in grief for two years and I could help my mom to understand that her mother is never gone, she lives in my mom. Wherever she is. So thank you broadway and disney
I saw this at West End the day before my grandfather passed away. I think of him when I hear this song now. :(
i knew this song from lion king 2 but the context here is hauntingly beautiful. especially taking in that this was the last thing Simba's father ever said to him. well, besides "AAAAAAAAAAGH!"
This song is our hymn! And we know that Jesus lives in all of us!
Watched this in Perth a fews days ago, WOW!!! What an amazing cast- such talent. LOVE this song...
+PS Mukosera Was it the closing show? If it was, I was there too. Simply amazing!! This song and They Live In You particularly struck a cord with me.
+Renay Fehnle watched it on Saturday the 27/2... That moment between Mufasa and Simba just made me tear up a little ! Absolutely beautiful hey !
I went to New york a couple years back and went to a broadway workshop for this. Met Simba’s understudy, Joel, he was incredibly nice and we learned the dance to this and also saw the show! It was amazing!!
Listen to 'They Live In You', this song and the movie version of this song side by side. They are all breathtaking.
Nothing gives you chills more than this, I saw it in person and it was amazing!!!!
don't cry for someone you loved .. follow his teachings and he will live in you!!
Just saw this at Pantages Theatre in LA. The entire musical was so beautiful
same here. really good show
Just saw it on New Year's Eve! I loved the effects during this scene, especially the part where Mufasa's ghost appeared.
Stunning! So spiritual and beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing, you've given me joy!

Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you
Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers

I saw the Broadway's Lion King last night and it was phenomenal ♡ this was one of my favorite parts
Saw this tonight at the Pantages Theatre I have never seen anything so breathtaking! Absolutely gorgeous
Easily my favorite. It's beautiful, powerful, and very inspirational.
this has always been my favorite song from Lion King
This song will never not make me cry
I saw this in Chicago and I loved this and They Live In You!!
+Disney Music Videos I think we may have been at the same performance! I was taken there a couple nights ago by complete surprise, and this was my favorite part. I'd seen it before, but I won't forget how lively this year's tour was.
R.I.P. Jason Raize. Gone way too soon.
actorguy213 I know, right? You know the only actual film he ever acted in was Brother Bear, everything else was stage work.
EditorOfSL no he was in a low budget movie called the kitchen it’s on amazon prime
I saw it on Broadway almost 10 years ago and to this day I haven't completely recovered. So amazing ❤
Truly a powerful song stay blessed everyone
I have The Lion King on VHS(watch it like 1000 times plus no joke), saw it in 3D when it came to theaters , got it on DVD and watched it 1000 times more, saw the life production of it in Buffalo at Shea's theater(phenomenal) I actually own this soundtrack which = my childhood!!!!!!!!
Chinenye Ibegbu omg same!
I watched it on VHS and DVD for a year and stoped when I saw the musical only to listen to the soundtrack every day for 6 months😂
(:
I just saw this on the West End this time last week and was crying!! There's no words to explain the way live theatre hits you!!
Just saw this show in OKC last night; this song was one of the best in the entire show. This was Simba's big turning point and Rafiki's performance was filled with emotion and power. If you ever get the chance to see this live, do so. It's impressive.
This song makes me smile :-) :-) :-)
I love the voices in the background.
The most gorgeous and uplifting music.
Literally just saw this Saturday in New York. I would do it all again
Seen it in a London in May and again in Southampton. Absolutely brilliant and touches you with this song as we all have someone we miss.
It was at this point that I cried when I saw the musical. This was always one of my favourites from the movies, and to see it performed live... There were no words
Best version for me. When the gospel choir takes over in the chorus, it is so damn powerful.
This song always makes me want to cry because it’s so good and there’s just so many meanings
Tonight my mom too me too see Lion King in Broadway and I bought this CD and I can't stop listening I'm stunned and in love
I just saw this show for the first time last night and had no idea this song was in it. I had to look into it, since I only know the song from the movies sequel. I thought it fit so perfectly into this story. Turns out it was written after the movie, inspired by the movie, so they used it for the Broadway show and a version was used in the sequel movie. This was the best part of the show, for sure. I was sobbing.
He lives in me, he lives in you, he watches over, he lives in me! Yes!
Watched the broadway a week ago. This song was stunning
Simply Amazing!!!! music,costumes,actors,decors everything is incredible. Love It!!!
I loooove this song the African feeling makes me want to learn more Zulu and go to africa!!!!
All time classic,
this is my fav song from the whole musical:)
+The G and G Show same
Just saw this show last week here in Florida. This was definitely one of my faves. Great song!
We enacted this in a play with my school 5 years ago… time flies, so much has changed 😢
R.I.P Jason Raize
Why is it now dawning on my that they are chanting the same phrase from Circle of Life ?
I'm going to be doing this show and auditions are in a few weeks...I'm trying out for Rafiki (mainly because I LOVE this song and Circle of Life). Wish me luck!
This might be late, but good luck anyways!
So did you get the part??
I was a wilderbeast in the scene that made me cry......... GOTTA LOVE IRONY!
This that fire who here in 2020 play this in these hard times 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥
I love this song so so sooooo much , almost cryed when i saw that scene. yes! we all lives in circle of life!
I get chills listening to this song, it is so beautiful and powerful.
I just got back from seeing The Lion King and I just had to listen to this song!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!
Saw this last night in Manchester and was possibly the best show I've seen. So powerful
I just saw this last night and i love it ❤❤❤
Just saw that this (or a version of it) is on the official soundtrack for the new film, I'm beyond excited! After watching the stage production, this song came away as my favorite, I was hoping they'd use its power to make the film that much stronger. Happy to hear they are!
I saw this on Broadway had me crying like a baby
I saw the show today at ASU Gammage, and THIS song was easily the best out of the entire show
I saw it last night at ASU Gammage :) It was amazing and I completely agree :)
moongoddess695 Agreed. The entire scene was just breathtaking.
i think it took the show from great to outstanding for me, this piece was by far the best
I truly think of God when I hear this. 🙏🏾
Praise the Lord and Jesus!
this soundtrack gives me chills !!!OMG LOVE IT :)
I sang this song at a callback today for my school musical. It’s so touching, and I completely feel like I want to send the message out to people on the stage, you know? I just wanna be there telling people the message of this song because it means so much!!!
simply SUPERB.
When I hear this song I get reminded of Harambe and how he watches over all of us. RIP gone too soon
Trevor D as a meme...
Trev D Harambee will be in our hearts forever.
I saw it in London and it's been fantastic!
saw this on Broadway with my family in february, it was so beautiful, i cried so much :')
