Shadowland

[LIONESSES]
Fatshe leso lea halalela _{,This land of our ancestors is holy},
Fatshe leso lea halalela _{,This land of our ancestors is holy},

[NALA]
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river's dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go

And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride

[LIONESSES] Prideland
[NALA] I have no choice
[LIONESSES] My land
[NALA] I will find my way
[LIONESSES] Tear-stained
[NALA] Lea halalela
[LIONESSES] Dry land

[LIONESSES] Take this
[NALA] Take this prayer
[LIONESSES] With you
[NALA] What lies out there
[LIONESSES] Fatshe leso
[NALA] Lea halalela

[LIONESSES]
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride

[NALA] And where the journey may lead me
[LIONESSES] Let this prayer be your guide
[NALA] Let their prayers be my guide
[LIONESSES] Though it may take you
[NALA] Though it may take me so
[LIONESSES] So far away
[NALA] Far away
[LIONESSES] Always remember your pride
[NALA] I'll remember my pride

[LIONESSES] And where the journey may lead you
