Music by Lebo M, Hans Zimmer, and Jay Rifkin - Lyrics by Julie Taymor

Performed by Jason Raize



Simba:

Where has the starlight gone?

Dark is the day

How can I find my way home?



Home is an empty dream

Lost to the night

Father, I feel so alone



You promised you'd be there

Whenever I needed you

Whenever I call your name

You're not anywhere



When will the dawning break

Oh endless night

Sleepless I dream of the day



When you were by my side

Guiding my path

Father, I can't find the way



You promised you'd be there

Whenever I needed you

Whenever I call your name

You're not anywhere



I'm trying to hold on

Just waiting to hear your voice

One word, just a word will do

To end this nightmare



Chorus:

I know that the night must end

And that the sun will rise

And that the sun will rise



I know that the clouds must clear

And that the sun will shine

And that the sun will shine



Simba & Chorus:

I know that the night must end

And that the sun will rise

And that the sun will rise

I know that the clouds must clear

And that the sun will shine

And that the sun will shine

(Repeat to end)



Simba:

I know

Yes, I know

The sun will rise

Yes, I know

I know

The clouds must clear



I know that the night must end

I know that the sun will rise

And I'll hear your voice deep inside



I know that the night must end

And that the clouds must clear

The sun

The sun will rise

The sun

The sun will rise
