When I was a cool young one

(When she was a cool young one)

I worked in the colony, paying my dues

Accepting without question the prevailing news

That a young girl's life was one long grind.

Digging holes, standing guard 'till it crossed my mind.

I was wrong, all along

all that I needed, was to have heeded.

What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata

Ain't no passin' craze

It means no worries

For the rest of your days

It's our problem free

When I was a shallow youth

(When she was a shallow youth)

Cool calm reflection

I was never that good

I wasn't born 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 stood still

Take my word

(Take her word)

I have heard

All that I needed

Was to have heeded.

Hakuna Matata

I hope I have conveyed

You don't have to bust a gut in the sun

It's much cooler in shade.

Some say it's just a waste of time

But they don't realize

That view is nothing but a crime

We are creatures worthywise
