  • I went with my school to see the play. I cried through this part. I was just beautiful. How they put the father's face together in stuff you just have to see it. I LOVE the whole play but this part was just amazing.

  • YOU ALL MUST SEE THIS SHOW!! I got school ticket so we sit in the wayyyy back, but it was still marvelous.

  • An absolute must see! if you want to see an amazing musical, go see this! dont even think of seeing anything else, it just blows you away!

  • instant goosebumps. i loved this song in the movie and i love it here. brilliant.

  • *wipes tear from cheek

  • I do not want to comment

  • @lakicar100 then don't

  • either I grew up and my childhood is over or Disney can't produce any more a movie that would make me cry nowadays... this is my fvaorite song

  • I freaked out in my mind when this song was performed during the musical! My favorite Disney song ever! <3

  • Hey la hey mameyla hey la hey mameyla!!! I -3 this songgggg!!!!

  • Good to know that i was in the generation which my childhood revolved around this movie

  • @Robohobofication I was 29 when this movie came out. I may have chronoligically been 29 years old but when I saw this in the theatres back in 94 I was suddenly 8 years old again...

  • I get chills the first time she says "he lives in you" :)

  • favorite effin part of being in this play.. the vocals were WHACK... so mamy memories riight jasmine ?? <333

  • OMG taiiwo i did that on ma moms phone i watched like 8 zombie apocalypse vids then listened to this song 2 times then the "can you feel the love tonight" one i passed out cause it was so awesome...

  • Heel bijzonder nummer!!

  • is cool

  • The play its awsome its an expirence i will never forget i luv this song!

  • DIS MI SONG!! I JUST SAW DA PLAY YESTERDAY AND IT WAS AWESOME THIS LADY CAN REALLY SING!!!!

  • when i was in New York i saw this on broadway it was really cool

  • Coolest song I listen to it while sleeping!!!!!!!

  • @Rymackinator loool, same! I have a whole playlist of songs like this reserved for when I want to sleep :P

  • This is a great song. No, great is an understatement.

  • The only thing I didn't like from the play was that the cast weren't multiracial, there should have been colourblind casting.

  • @The505Guys Oh God, not another one of you types. The role should go to whoever does it best, not because they have a "(insert color) guy quota" to fill.

  • eargasm

  • God has officially been in given form

  • Favorite song from play.

  • went backstage yesterday of the musical :)

  • @nyahrandom lucky duck

  • @nyahrandom do they still play?

  • Whenever I need some inspiration, I listen to this and then suddenly I feel as though I can take on the whole world.

  • @mazzat323 I feel the same way. I saw the play live and during this song I couldnt help but bawl like a baby!

  • 18 people don't mamela XDDDDD

  • One of my all time favourite song love you Lion King forever, thumbs up

  • beautiful. absolutely beautiful. such a fabulous play.

  • I saw the broadway version when it was in sydney, back in... 2004? (it was like a century ago so whatever) and it was pretty good for a musical.

    usually i hate theatrical plays, but that was really good, especially the little simba cub fluffy toy that rafiki holds up, it had batteries or something to make the legs move...

  • I actually happen to loooove the sequal!!

  • 17 people couldn't feel the love of Lion King, and it's legendary greatness. If you were a child when you first seen this back in 1994, You know what I mean. Lion King forever. Mufasa lives in us all.

  • how could some one dislike this this is amazing

  • @dummies123abc because the voice of the singer is dissapointing to those how remember the original. Sorry...she may have a great voice, but I grew up with the version of the film, so this just sounds odd to me.

    BUT, nevertheless I DIDN`T DISLIKE this. Just because I respect the singer.

  • @Lusnack i grew up with the original also i just think this is amazing

  • we did this song for our show choir!! look us up crete-monee high school show choir!

  • long live Mufasa!!!! i think of him when i hear this....

  • This should have been the movie! Period.

  • @dottiedots221 This song was actually from the sequel to the lion king, The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride. The sequel is not as good as the first, but if your going to compare everything to The Lion King your setting yourself up for failure. The sequel is one of the better sequels Disney has made to an incredible movie like the lion king, it's still worth a look if you're interested.

  • @MrLolalolalola101 Sorry, i didnt try to compare for the three things. i was just saying :) and yeah about it being it in the sequel. the sequel was great, not as good as the first of course :)

  • i love this. i saw it today. it was my first play like this and it was awesome.

  • This was an absolutely amazing play. Im still stunned from last night. I fufilled my dream since i was maybe 7 years old to see this play and it didnt let me down at all.

  • He lives in you!, he lives in me!, he watches over!, everything we see!

    Such strong an beutiful words ;)

  • I almost cried in the theatre xD

  • Amazing!

  • Unfortunately I haven't seen The Lion King musical show, but I'm DEFINENTLY falling in love with it via youtube...But I'm confused.. Which character is singing this song?

  • @AbaisseABC It is Rafiki but in the musical it was a girl...

  • @poetry46 Haha, that's who I guessed, but couldn't be sure since it was a chick XD

  • @AbaisseABC The monkey.

  • omg it's so epic ! 

  • @beggingtoescapexx No, of my dead father.

    But I like the nonmusical version sung by male a little more.

  • 17 people are not worthy to become the grass which the antelopes eat.

  • @beggingtoescapexx I think that's the whole point. It reminds Simba of Mufasa (obviously), and it also kinda reminds me of my dead father, but it also makes me think of some grand, divine power watching over us all, whether you want to call it God, Gods, Magick, the Universe, Physics...whatever. But yeah, you're definitely not the only one getting that vibe from this song.

  • :'D

  • @aelistasneo And rose on the third day?

  • When the little lights formed Mufasa's face, I was in tears. So beautiful!

  • This is my favorite song to use when I do prayer at school

  • @beggingtoescapexx If by God You mean Walt then yes. :-)

  • @beggingtoescapexx You could imagine the word they in place of he. Its still has the same meaning and same effect, but takes away the feeling of god as a separate entity.

  • It was the most memorable performances in the show.

  • BeAuTiFuL:D

  • @beggingtoescapexx Totally. I glad someone said it!!!

  • @beggingtoescapexx Never thought of it that way, but yeah, it does~

  • I literally got chills at 3:04. A shiver just went through my entire body. It was kind of weird.

  • This song literally made me cry. It's so powerful.

  • @kittiekat10105

    you cry because it's so beautiful :P

  • I saw this in the West End. It gave me chills.

  • Okay, Who stole God's Ipod?

  • @KingNice92 Hans Zimmer lol

  • @KingNice92 i am sorry. :(

  • @KingNice92 Good one. lol :) Answer:  Julie Taymore/Disney. LOL

  • @KingNice92 Ohmygoodness, I have been thinking the same thing. :)

  • @KingNice92 my all-time favorite song and my all-time favorite comment.. .

  • @KingNice92 Sry.. :\ aint got no money to buy new

  • @KingNice92 Genious! This is probably gonna be my most epic youtube comment of 2011! =) cheers

  • @KingNice92 that's such a cute comment (o^_^o) i wish i was the one who did

  • 3:04 <3

  • I love this song!

  • @beggingtoescapexx oh my gosh! when i saw this show on broadway on a choir trip that's what we all thought!

  • I honestly dont see how some videos get disliked..

  • @GerrodMcENT they are called trolls lol. amazing song!

  • it reminds me of ancestors and spirits :D

  • Comment removed

  • this song really makes me think of god

  • @beggingtoescapexx Ya that is what I commented on all he lives in you videos, "does this song remind anyone of god. Cause It sure does to me.

  • cried when i heard this song for the first and even three years latter it still gets to me

  • Almost cryed watching it in lyceum

    

  • i managed to see this in London last night at the Lyceum... the film's been my favourite film ever since i was a kid and this was amazing!! fantastic production!

  • @beggingtoescapexx You bet! And here I thought _I_ was one of the only people who felt that way...! :-D

  • @beggingtoescapexx I was just thinking this~

  • This song gives me goosebumps every time

  • this is just awesome!!!! why 16 dislikes??? the music is rather positive and uplifting... this is one of the best Broadway plays in History... just stunning

  • @beggingtoescapexx i agree :)

  • they should redo the movie and put samuel wright as mufasa

  • stunning no other words

  • gotta love that harmony...

  • @AllieGolach Yup, saw it when it came out with my classmates. Best musical indeed.

  • I got to see the play in South Africa. Wow!!! AMAZING is all I can say.

  • @siyafrica I also saw it in SA, best musical/play i have ever seen, i thought the SA version was even better than the one on broadway. did you see it at the teatro??

  • @siyafrica you got to see The Lion King in South Africa. That is awesome, I bet it had a special feel to it .

  • i watched the musical of this in the west end recently and i knew ALL the words to this even after not seeing the film for 7 years!! Makes me cry everytime <3

  • @beggingtoescapexx i know what you mean. by the way, here's a tip for making a religious refernce without wanting to offend anyone: i alwasys use the term "great spirit" because it covers all religions. that way, no one's left out/

  • sry but the songs from the german musical are better ;)

  • @SuperClassis its the exact same songs only sung in german. you know that right?

  • @richardthewriter yes I know it, but the sound from the german songs are better ;)

  • @SuperClassis Sorry but I really hate everything about germany, the people can be allright I don't know them personaly, but really you comment alone is wtf.

    I work at a parc, no german even tries to speak english or dutch they just ignore us and keep talking german, even french, who also never speak english, try it atleast.

    You all are lucky that dutch people know how to speak and understand german, english, and most of uss even speak french. I've seen almost non who can speak english sorry.

  • @Lessur90 what you've said is rather rude. You can insult a whole nation because of the few people you've met. You've hardly met MOST os Germany to be able to make an accurate judgement and anyway who is any one person to judge another?

    When you meet German people in your country do you try to speak German? Exactly.

  • @SuperClassis my statements are based on what I've learned by working for germans, belgium and french people.

    I don't suck it out of my thumb, and sorry if it in any way has offended you or others, but I read your sentence and really I immidiatly became a little bit angry.

  • I cried. I love this song so much!! <333333

  • juz watched it in s'pore!!!!! the vocals are mad!!!!! tis song opened my eyes widely into the power of music.........

  • @beggingtoescapexx well of course, that's the sense of the movie in general...Mufasa represents the allfather, and Simba stands for the mankind, that's why he (or we?) has to find that divine prescence within himself

  • @SamuelLordJackson I can never watch Lion King the same way ever again.

    To many, this realization would turn them off to the movie. It makes me want to see it a million times more. Now I must ready for the 3D premiere~

  • @chessykit I gotta say, I went to the movies this friday 4th time to watch it. But that's just wut I understood from that scene's symbolysm, perhaps the writers and director had a different vision, who knows?

  • @SamuelLordJackson It always seems so, that the writer would have thought about something completely different. But your interpretation was one that made you think about the movie in a deeper light, or at least one I understood. I probably will have my own interpretation when I see the movie again, but right now yours is close to what mine would be~

  • watched it today in London !! it was freaking awesome !!!

  • @10kingk i did to! Same day! By the way was the actor who played Zazu the understudy?

  • I dont think this is god, IT'S MUFFY <3

  • I think it has a more calming yet majestic feel than a serenity feel if you're trying to compare to god?

  • This doesn't remind me of god. It reminds me of every important person you've loved and lost. Anyone who has impacted your life, and changed you.

  • @fizzyopolis And who's to say that "every important person you've loved and lost, anyone who was impacted your life and changed you"....isn't the same exact thing as God? =P

  • @waterkeeper511 Individual beliefs and interpretations. I said it didn't remind ME of god. If it reminds someone else of god, then that's their interpretation of the song. o/

  • @beggingtoescapexx i think thats the point

  • haha, totally. i did a dance to this song in my dance company, and we're a christian dance company. if u listin to it, u can tell it kinda has a christian sound to it. :)

  • i think of my uncle, cousin and brother when i think of this and anyone else who left us too soon (sniff),

    they never really live you!

  • this musical changed my life. I had watched the movie so much when I was little, (it was my favorite) but this musical physically changed me. and this song is a lot of the reason why. There are only a few things in the world that I can say are physically a part of me, and this is one of them.

  • 3:12 I get shivers in my spine. ^o^

  • @beggingtoescapexx This song doesn't remind me on god... It reminds me on some ancient warrior ancestor and how his spirits lives on in me... Well that's how I understood the song :)

  • I got to see this LIVE in NYC my junior year i personally think it beat phantom of the opera when i saw that the next day. dang MEMORIES!!

  • thumbs up if you were fortunate enough to see this live

  • @cuddyman8 I'll never forget it. ^_^

  • @cuddyman8

    SO let me get this straight...I should thumbs up YOU because I saw it? Hmm that doesnt seem like a thing that would benefit me for having seen it now does it. Oh your clever girl you.

  • @Jangsaverem I don't really know all the details about YouTube. I didn't think you were giving me a thumbs up I thought it was like "liking" a comment on Facebook

  • @cuddyman8

    Naw I knew what you were getting at. I just find these types of comments funny in that sort of way. You got a "like" none the less though I have no idea if they actually do anything. I watched it like Last Spring.

  • @cuddyman8 not yet :(

  • @beggingtoescapexx That's what I thought too, when I heard it for the first time and really every time I listen to it.

  • @beggingtoescapexx i actually first heard this song at a catholic youth day event without realizing that it's from the Lion King! what's even more ironic is that the youth day event took place at a convention center right next to Disneyland. xD it was love at first tune. the whole band used this song during the meditation. the singers were amazing, the dancers were amazing, and the choir was phenomenal. they did a good job covering this song. I did record it but somehow i can't find it. :(

  • @mycommentsalwaystrue you're a fucking idiot.

  • He lives in you......OMG SIMBAS PREGNANT O.O

  • hellohs dear, anyone know what's the number of drum beats for this song? Do e-mail me @ with.love-eyhb@hotmail.sg [URGENT]

  • I love how at the end they sing so joyfully, like they have realized that he DOES live in you.

  • Lebo M. & Choir better... I give this 2 thumbs down

  • it's pure majestic! This is so much more than music! :)

  • @arsenal1886london

    you're right,

    this isn't music coming out of my speakers...

    it's 100% feelings

  • @beggingtoescapexx (raises hand)

  • @beggingtoescapexx absolutely :) Always has done with me.

  • Cried when I saw this on Broadway. Most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life <3

  • Since this is actually from the second movie, I was really glad they added it into the musical. It's easily the most hauntingly beautiful song in the show.

  • @treput92 Urrrm, the musical came out long before the second movie. It was featured in "The Rhythm of the Pride Lands" that was released a year after the first movie. A lot of the songs on TROTP if not all, were turned into the music for the Broadway musical.

  • chills big time <3

  • i get the chills everytime i listen to this :D

  • I never met Jason or heard him live...but his voice penetrates the soul and I know that somewhere he lives on singing his heart out

  • I loved this on Broadway..

  • I saw this on Broadway in New York and it was so powerful. There is something about the whole song that is so spiritual and pure. You can't sit still while listening to it.And it also made me proud as an African-American to see how well these men,women, and children perform. (Because a majority of the cast is African-American.)

  • @XxBlakeGriffin32xX I know right. I saw this in charlotte one time and it just blew my mind how awsome it was. It truley brings a different prespective to lion king.

  • Comment removed

  • this is a cool song

  • @JUSTINBIEBERFAN6634  i really mean it

  • lol i was singing this while walkin down the street :)

  • Definately my favorite song in the whole show :)

  • I saw The Lion Kind on Broadway in Chicago, and it was absolutely amazing. It made me fall in love with The Lion King all over again.

  • This song lifts me up so much. We sing it at my church and I didn't know this was from Lion King when I heard it. I saw the musical after and was surprised. So much spirituality in this song n it doesn't matter ur religion.

  • I saw the Broadway version of this in Tampa twice, it was that good!

  • I can't listen to the movie version after listening to this.
