Lyrics: You can find the lyrics here.
Why I chose it: The Lion King (the original animated film) was the first movie I took my oldest son to see at the movies. It holds a special place in our hearts. Who doesn’t love the duo of Timon and Pumba teaching young Simba to let his cares go and not bother having any worries? This version of the song was on an album that came out later called Rythm of the Pride Lands. It as a beautiful album of music inspired by the movie. I love this version of the song. I like being able to listen to it (and singing) without feeling like I’m just belting out a movie soundtrack song. It makes me want to move. It’s an inspiring version of the song.
