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
(Sisi ni sawa)

Kion:
I hear what you're saying, but you need to explain
(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
(Sisi ni sawa)

'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
(Sisi ni sawa)

Kion:
Though you've got your spots, and I have a mane

Jasiri:
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa, we are the same

Both:
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
(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
(Sisi ni sawa)

Both:
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa, we are the same
(Sisi ni sawa)

Sisi ni sawa means we're the same
(Sisi ni sawa)
Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain
(Sisi ni sawa)
At the end of the day, it's like water and rain
Sisi ni sawa, we are the same
(Sisi ni sawa)
Sisi ni sawa, we are the same

Jasiri:
Sisi ni sawa, we are the same
