I'm Coming Home
Earl & The Agitators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The king's time as ruler
Rises and falls like the Sun
One day, Simba
The Sun will set on my time here
And will rise with you as the new king
Simba
I'm here, mother, I'm home

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are actually from the song "He Lives in You" featured in the Lion King II soundtrack. The lines are spoken by Mufasa to Simba as he reflects on his legacy and how it will one day be passed on to his son. The king's time as ruler is likened to the rise and fall of the sun, emphasizing how fleeting power and life can be. Mufasa understands that he will not live forever and acknowledges that his time will come to an end, but he takes comfort in the fact that Simba will carry on his legacy as the new king.


The last line, "I'm here, mother, I'm home" is also significant as it shows Simba's acknowledgement of his place in the circle of life. He recognizes not only his father's legacy but also his connection to his mother and his own upbringing. This line also conveys a sense of comfort and belonging, as if Simba has finally found his place in the world.
