Hakuna Matata

When I was a cool young one

(when she was a cool young one)

I worked in the colony, paying my dues

Accepting without question the prevailing views.

That a young girl's life was one long grind

Digging holes, standing guard till it crossed my mind.

I was wrong, all along

All that i needed, was right here.

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem free, philosophy, Hakuna Matata.

When i was a shallow youth

(when she was a shallow youth)

Cool calm reflection

I was never that good

I was a pawn in the game

I saw no trees for the wood

My future stretched behind me

I was over the hill

I put my best foot forward

While the other one stood still.

Take my word

(take her word)

I have heard

(she has heard)

All that i needed

Was right here.

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem free, philosophy, Hakuna Matata.

Hakuna Matata

I hoped i have conveyed

You don't have to bust and let the sun

It's much cooler here in shade.

Some say it's just a waste of time

But they don't realize

That view is nothing but a crime

We're all creatures worldliwise.

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem free, philosophy

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze
