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 views.
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 right here.

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem free, philosophy, Hakuna Matata.

When i was a shallow youth
(when she was a shallow youth)
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I was a pawn 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 one stood still.

Take my word
(take her word)
I have heard
(she has heard)
All that i needed
Was right here.

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem free, philosophy, Hakuna Matata.

Hakuna Matata
I hoped i have conveyed
You don't have to bust and let the sun
It's much cooler here in shade.

Some say it's just a waste of time
But they don't realize
That view is nothing but a crime
We're all creatures worldliwise.

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem free, philosophy

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze
It means no worries, for the rest of your days
It's our problem free, philosophy, Hakuna Matata.
