Lyrics[]

Kion:
You think that life is one big game
You joke, you laugh, you take no blame
I'm telling you, there's just no way that we're the same.
Jasiri:
You've got to look past what you see
Try not to judge so easily
Believe it or not, you're a lot like me
Say, believe it or not, you're a lot like me!
Sisi ni sawa means we're the same
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Kion:
I hear what you're saying
But you need to explain
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri:
At the end of the day it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa
We are the same!
Maybe I laugh, maybe you purr
But take a look under the fur
Deep in our heart is what matters for sure!
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri:
'Cause we both know a higher call
Like every creature big and small
The Circle of Life should be what's guiding us all!
The Circle of Life will guide us all!
Sisi ni sawa means we're the same
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Kion:
Though you've got your spots
And I have a mane!
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri:
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa
We are the same
Kion/Jasiri:
Sisi ni sawa
We are the same
Kion:
Never thought that we'd see eye to eye!
Jasiri:
I can't imagine why
It's very easy if you try!
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Kion:
Still to me they're brand new thoughts
Not to judge hyenas by their spots!
Jasiri:
Sisi ni sawa!
Sisi ni sawa means we're the same
Kion:
Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri/Kion:
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa
We are the same
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri/Kion:
Sisi na sawa means we're the same
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri/Kion:
Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri/Kion:
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa
We are the same
Chorus:
Sisi ni sawa!
Jasiri/Kion:
Sisi ni sawa
We are the same
Jasiri:
Sisi ni sawa
We are the same

Scar's Lyrics[]

Scar:
Sisi ni sawa means "We're the same"
Though you're made of flesh
And I'm made of flame
At the end of the day we all are fire and flame
Sisi ni sawa we are the same!

Janja's Lyrics[]

Janja:
Sisi ni sawa means "We're the same"
Though I got spots, and you have a mane
At the end of the...
