Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
When I was a cool young one
(when he was a cool young one)
i worked in the colony payin my dues
accepting without question the prevailing views
That a young man's life was one long grind
diggin holes standing guard till it crossed my mind

i was wrong, all along
all that i needed, was to have heeded

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 our problem free
philosophy
hakuna matata

when i was a shallow youth
(when he was a shallow youth)
cool calm reflection
i was never that good
i was a pawn in the game
i saw no trees for the wood
my future stretched behind me
i was over the hill
i put my best foot forward
while the other one stood still

take my word
i have heard
all that i needed
is to have heeded

hakuna matata
what a wonderful phrase, yeah
hakuna matata
ain't no passin craze

it means no worries
for the rest of your days
it's our problem free philosophy

hakuna matata
i hoped we have conveyed
don't hafta bust, get out of the sun
it's much cooler in the shade
some say it's just a waste of time
but they don't realize
that the view is nothing but a crime
we're all creatures worldliwise
