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

Ain't no passing craze

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
