I Always Wanted A Brother Lyrics by Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr.

Mufasa: The Lion King (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Deluxe Edition]

2024

[YOUNG TAKA]
When I am king
No other animal will break my stride, break my stride
And my brother
[YOUNG MUFASA]
My brother
[YOUNG TAKA]
When I'm king, you'll always take my side
[YOUNG MUFASA]
Ha! Yeah, right
[YOUNG TAKA]
That's right
When I am king
[YOUNG MUFASA]
When you are king
[YOUNG TAKA]
No other animal will break our pride, break our pride
And my brother
[YOUNG MUFASA]
My brother
[YOUNG TAKA]
Our prey may run away, but they can't hide
[YOUNG MUFASA]
Watch your hide
[YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go
Let's go
[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go!
[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Mama say
You could be up this late?
[YOUNG TAKA]
Okay, she didn't say
Either way
[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Hide away, let's go
[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Father say
You could be out this far?
[YOUNG TAKA]
Okay, we're on our way
[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
On our way
Run away, let's go
[ENSEMBLE]
Hеy, did your Mama say
You could be up this late?
[YOUNG TAKA & YOUNG MUFASA]
Ha-ha! You're vеry sharp
Yes, you are (Ooh, ah)
Yes, you are (Eeh, ah), let's go
[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Father say
You could be out this far?
[YOUNG TAKA]
Make a wish on the brightest star, and I say
I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
Just like you
[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
And I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
Just like you
[YOUNG MUFASA, spoken]
You see that tree?
[YOUNG MUFASA]
Those birds are watching the world unfold
[YOUNG TAKA]
The world unfold?
Oh, brother
[YOUNG MUFASA]
My brother
[YOUNG TAKA]
When I'm king, they will do as they're told
[YOUNG MUFASA]
You may look down on them, but they are free
[YOUNG TAKA]
You can't catch me
[YOUNG MUFASA]
And where they go cannot be controlled
[YOUNG TAKA]
No one looks down on me
[YOUNG MUFASA]
They look down on us, brother
[YOUNG TAKA]
Ha!
[YOUNG MUFASA]
Some things you chase but you cannot hold
[YOUNG TAKA]
Okay, it's getting old
Let's go
[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go!
[ENSEMBLE]
Hey, did your Mama say
That you could learn this way?
[YOUNG MUFASA]
I've got to find a way
Find our prey
[YOUNG TAKA]
Fine, I'll wait
[YOUNG MUFASA & YOUNG TAKA]
Let's go!
[ENSEMBLE]
Hey
[CHIGARU]
I heard his father say
He doesn't want this stray
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh!
[YOUNG TAKA]
I dare you to say that again to my face
What did you say 'bout my brother?
That's not a stray, that's my brother
You stay away from my brother
'Cause I say so
[YOUNG TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
If you put your paws on my brother
You'll meet the jaws of his brother
[YOUNG TAKA]
Those are the laws for my brother
[YOUNG TAKA, spoken]
Where'd he go?
[YOUNG MUFASA]
I always wanted a brother
I still remember my mother
One season after another
[ENSEMBLE & YOUNG MUFASA]
One season after another (Another, another)
[ENSEMBLE]
One season after another
One season after another
[TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
Everyone sing for my brother (Hey)
I'd do anything for my brother (Hey)
Soon, I'll be king with my brother (Hey)
By my side (Hey)
[MUFASA & ENSEMBLE]
I always wanted a brother (Hey)
[MUFASA & TAKA, ENSEMBLE]
Now, we rely on each other (Hey)
One season after another (Hey)
[TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
Hey, Mufasa! (Hey)
[MUFASA]
Yes, Taka?
[TAKA & ENSEMBLE]
I'll race you to the other side (Hey)
[MUFASA & ENSEMBLE]
Race you to the other side (Hey)
[MUFASA & TAKA]
Race you to the other side, ha!
