Shadowland

[LIONESSES]
Fatshe leso lea halalela _{This land of our ancestors is holy}
Fatshe leso lea halalela _{This land of our ancestors is holy}

[NALA]
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
[LIONESSES] My land
[NALA] I will find my way
[LIONESSES] Tear-stained
[NALA] Lea halalela
[LIONESSES] Dry land

[LIONESSES] Take this
[NALA] Take this prayer
[LIONESSES] With you
[NALA] What lies out there
[LIONESSES] Fatshe leso
[NALA] 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

Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela

[LIONESSES] And where the journey may lead you
[NALA] And where the journey may lead me
[LIONESSES] Let this prayer be your guide
[NALA] Let their prayers be my guide
[LIONESSES] Though it may take you
[NALA] Though it may take me so
[LIONESSES] So far away
[NALA] Far away
[LIONESSES] Always remember your pride
[NALA] I'll remember my pride

[LIONESSES] And where the journey may lead you
[NALA] Ngiza buyabo, ngiza buyabo
