Watching The Lion King yesterday was such a fabulous experience. It was more than a movie for me, it was a whole, total experience. I am so proud to be African right now. I am also proud to be brown-skinned and to be Nigerian.
It is such a blessing to have Beyonce to listen to, watch and learn from. Of all the songs on her most recent album, The Lion King: The Gift, “Spirit” has brought the best vibes out for me.

The song starts with a Swahili chant, Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme. This translates to “long live the king.”
The lyrics also contain an excerpt from one of the Lion King scenes: “Sayin’ rise up / To the light in the sky, yeah / Let the light lift your heart up,”
Beyonce goes on ahead to quote portions of the old testament of the Bible: “So go into that far off land / And be one with the Great I Am, I Am / A boy becomes a man.”
Blue Ivy’s, stylish cameo in Beyonce’s spirit music video is what the whole world is talking about. Not only was she spectacular, but she was also a reminder of an everlasting Beyonce.
Beyonce seems to pay homage to Yemoja, a Yoruba goddess in many clips of the videos with different poses and attires that mimic the goddess. This is coupled with that some moves are an inspiration from African culture and mannerisms.
Spirit by Beyonce exudes a level of brilliance that is certainly unmatched and beautiful. If you love Spirit by Beyonce, you might want to know all of what she said in the song. Below, the lyrics of “Spirit” by Beyonce.
Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme (Uishi kwa, uishi kwa) Uishi kwa muda mrefu mfalme (Uishi kwa, uishi kwa)
Yeah, yeah, and the wind is talkin’ Yeah, yeah, for the very first time With a melody that pulls you towards it Paintin’ pictures of paradise
Sayin’, rise up To the light in the sky, yeah Watch the light lift your heart up Burn your flame through the night
Woah, spirit Watch the heavens open, yeah Spirit, can you hear it callin’? (Callin’) Yeah
Yeah, yeah, and the water’s crashin’ Trying to keep your head up high While you’re trembling, that’s when the magic happens And the stars gather by, by your side
Sayin’ rise up To the light in the sky, yeah Let the light lift your heart up Burn your flame through the night
Yeah, spirit Watch the heavens open, yeah Spirit, can you hear it callin’? (Callin’) Yeah
Your destiny is comin’ close Stand up and fight
So go into that far off land And be one with the great I Am, I Am A boy becomes a man
Woah, spirit Watch the heavens open, yeah Spirit, can you hear it callin’? Yeah Spirit, yeah, watch the heavens open, open, yeah Spirit, spirit, can you hear it callin’? (Callin’) Yeah
Your destiny is comin’ close Stand up and fight
So go into a far off land And be one with the great I Am
