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 My land I will find my way Tear-stained
Dry land Lea halalela Take this Take this prayer With you What lies out there Fatshe leso 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
