Lion King Music and Lyrics

Composers: Elton John and Lebo M
Lyrics : Elton John and Tim Rice

The score for The Lion King musical beautifully blends pop music with African rhythms to create a unique and magical soundtrack. The five famous songs composed by Elton John, with lyrics by Tim Rice, for the film version appear unchanged in the stage adaptation.

Songwriters Lebo M, Mark Macina, Jay Rifkin and Hans Zimmer co-wrote the additional music and lyrics for the theatre production with a distinctly South African sound and mood. These soulful melodies help to bring the Savanna to life and develop the characters of the animals.

The Lion King Soundtrack

The songs evoke many different emotions, with each tune having a different feel. Ranging from the awe-inspiring 'Circle of Life', to the haunting chants of 'Shadowlands.' I Just can't wait to be King' is a much more up-tempo number, and the light-hearted 'Hakuna Matata' can't fail to bring a smile. Other songs from the Lion King include, 'The Morning Report', 'The Lioness Hunt', 'Chow Down', 'They Live in You', 'Be Prepared', 'One by One', 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight', 'Endless Night', ' Can You Feel the Love Tonight', 'He Lives in You' and 'King of Pride Rock.'
