I Always Wanted a Brother

Lyrics from Mufasa: The Lion King

When I am king
No other animal will break my stride
Break my stride
And my brother
My brother
When I'm king you'll always take my side
Ha! Yeah, right
That's right

When I am king
When you are king
No other animal will break our pride
Break our pride
And my brother
My brother
Our prey may run away, but they can't hide
Watch your hide

Let's go
Let's go
Let's go!

Hey, did your mama say
You could be up this late

Okay, she didn't say either way
Hide away, let's go

Hey, did your father say
You could be out this far

Okay, we're on our way, on our way
Run away, let's go

Hеy, did your mama say
You could be up this late

Ha, ha! You're vеry sharp
Yes you are, yes you are
Let's go

Hey, did your father say
You could be out this far

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

And I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
I always wanted a brother
Just like you

You see that tree
Those birds are watching the world unfold
The world unfold
Oh, brother
My brother

When I'm king, they will do as they're told
You may look down on them, but they are free
You can't catch me
And where they go cannot be controlled
No one looks down on me
They look down on us, brother
Ha!
Some things you chase but you cannot hold

Okay, it's getting old
Let's go
Let's go!

Hey, did your mama say
That you could learn this way

I've got to find a way, find our prey
Fine, I'll wait
Let's go!

I heard his father say
He doesn't want this stray
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

If you put your paws on my brother
You'll meet the jaws of his brother
Those are the laws for my brother
Where'd he go?

I always wanted a brother
I still remember my mother
One season after another

One season after another
One season after another
One season after another

Everyone sing for my brother
Do anything for my brother
Soon I'll be king with my brother
By my side

I always wanted a brother
Now we rely on each other
One season after another

Hey, Mufasa
Yes, Taka
I'll race you to the other side
Race you to the other side
Race you to the other side
