You're My Son, Mufasa Told Him

Mufasa smiled at his eager young cub
Simba was a prince, but this meant nothing
at this second in the love of the moment

What do you see? Mufasa asked his son.
Pinks and yellows, tans, flowers, a meadow, the savannah
What feels does it bring to you?
Simba took a deep breath and let it out slowly
I feel peace, he told his daddy, the king

Mufasa knew that his son would do well
for he was not corrupted in any way,
he did not thirst for power or majesty like Scar
You are my son, he told him, and it makes me proud

Simba took another deep sigh,
breathing in the love of the savannah,
with no worries or cares, thinking he would have his father forever
