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 questions 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 a problem free philosophy

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 forthe wood
My future stretched behind me, I was ovet the hill
I put my best foot forward, but the other 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 a problem free philosophy

Hakuna Matata
I hope I have conveyed
You don't have to burst you out of the sun
It's much cooler in the shade
Some say it's just a waste od time
But they don't realize
That the view is nothing but a crime
We are creatures wordly wise
