The One With the Lion King Song

Date: 9/17/2019

I’m in a two-sided elevator with Jen, Jess and a few other people from work. There’s a whiteboard on the door to my right. We’re talking about how work will be slow for the rest of the year, and I’m nervous because I already don’t do anything at work when it’s busy. I stare at the whiteboard, but the sound of music coming from outside suddenly catches my attention. I realize that we’re going to a show. A song starts playing that I vaguely recognize. It keeps repeating the chorus, “He lives in you / He lives in me.” I remember that this is from The Lion King play (which it actually is; this is weird because I’ve only heard the song once — two years ago at a Lion King show in Disney — and I have no idea why that song would be in my head) and I start to sing along.
