The Lion King 2 - He Lives In You



We are learning this song "He Lives in You" from the "Lion King" from a varied musical repertoire of the newly formed project to establish a local community choir. 

Hence the "Open  Door Singers Diamond Valley" is in the early formative stages but nevertheless the format and music in the first month has been enthusiastically adopted by locals. This is in no small part due to the expert direction of the accomplished singer and acclaimed choral conductor Shaun Islip. 

Shaun is the Musical Director of the not for profit organisation "Open  Door  Singers" which aims to foster and grow community choirs. It seems very likely the "Open  Door Singers Diamond Valley" will become a future reality as members elect to join.
 
The words to the song are as follows :
 
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night and the spirit of life calling
Oh, oh, iyo, mamela
And the voice with the fear of a child answers
Iyo iyo, mamela
Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith
Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela
Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela
He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you
Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers
Iyo mamela
Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith, oh, oh, iyo
He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you
Ingonyama nengw' enamabale
Ingonyama nengw' enamabale
He lives in you, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you
He lives in you, oh yeah, he lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the water, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives, he lives, he lives, he lives in you
He lives, he lives, he lives in you
He watches over everything we see

I hope (with wonder and awe at the thought) that Cecil and all his brother and sister creatures roam the broad savannahs of Heaven.

It's a lovely song, Lindsay, one which I'm sure your choir is doing justice.

Peace and Blessings
