"Am I the same?" - Song
A counter song to "One of Us" from the Lion King 2 Simba's Pride.
He is a deception, a disgrace,
Evil as plain as the scar on his face?
And yet, you saw in me the same,
Did I also asked for trouble the moment I came?
An outrage, what a shame!
And yet, you didn´t give ME the blame!
An outsider, you welcomed as one of you,
Why don´t you do the same for him too?
Born in grief,
Raised in hate,
But able to defy his fate,
You let him run, you let him live,
So, where is there something you can not forgive?
Someone once lied to you,
But are you really not so blind?
Is his scar really a mark for which side he signed?
Would he really do what he has done?
Is this half truth really worth for everyone?
This is an outrage, a disgrace!
Is the evil also plained as the scar on MY face?!
Is he really just here for the king´s title to gain?
And when yes, am I the same?!
Born in grief,
Raised in hate,
But able to defy his fate,
You let him run, you let him live,
So, where is there something you can not forgive?
If he is not one of you,
Does the same count for me too?
You call him a traitor,
So, am I too an agitator?
You shoo him back with his own,
Believing this outsider just wants the throne,
You say he will NEVER be one of you,
So, does the same count for me too?
Born in grief,
Raised in hate,
But able to defy his fate,
You let him run, you let him live,
So, where is there something you can not forgive?
You are just acting like Scar!
Don´t you see this all goes to far?
Simba, you are hurting your daughter, one of your own,
Just out of false fear of losing the throne!
You called me once the same like him,
A root of all evil with a heart as grim,
And yet, you accepted me as one of you,
So, why can´t you just do the same for him too?
Simba, I never bowed to your crown but neither to betrayal,
You call Kovu the same as you did me, a false portrayal!
Why won´t you listen to Kiara´s pleads?
Don´t you care if her heart bleeds?!
Born in grief,
Raised in hate,
But able to defy his fate,
You let him run, you let him live,
So, where is there something you can not forgive?
You call him MY past names,
A monster, a beast, a devil out of flames!
So, if he is not one of you,
Does the same count for me too?
It´s an outrage, just a shame,
If you give him all the blame, am I the same?
Is the evil as plain as the scars on our face?
Are we both a disgrace?
He is not a deception, not a disgrace,
The evil isn´t plain as the scar on his face!
But if he is still not one of you,
Then I guess the same counts for me too!
