[[File:Tlk-korea-helivesinyou.jpg|thumb|250px|Simba and the chorus performing ''He Lives in You'' from the second act of ''The Lion King'' musical. Photograph is of the original Korean cast.]]The song is used twice in the musical based on the film, once in each act. During the first act it is performed by Mufasa to young Simba as ''They Live in You''. The lyrics were changed slightly to represent the Great Kings of the Past. Mufasa, during the song, shows Simba that he is never alone as there is always someone watching over him.

''(instrumental)''
In the second act the song is sung by [[Rafiki]], the chorus and adult Simba as ''He Lives in You''. The first part of the song is fairly subdued and sung by Rafiki and the chorus as Rafiki summons Mufasa's spirit. Mufasa's spirit appears and instructs Simba to return home and take his rightful place as king. After Mufasa's spirit fades, Simba realizes that he must take responsibility and return home. At this, there is an instrumental break, after which the song becomes livelier and Simba joins in the celebratory singing.

The Lion King musical

Tlk-korea-helivesinyou

Simba and the chorus performing "He Lives in You" from the second act of The Lion King musical. Photograph is of the original Korean cast.

The song is used twice in the musical based on the film, once in each act. During the first act it is performed by Mufasa to young Simba as They Live in You. The lyrics were changed slightly to represent the Great Kings of the Past. Mufasa, during the song, shows Simba that he is never alone as there is always someone watching over him.

In the second act, the song is sung by Rafiki, the chorus, and adult Simba as "He Lives in You". The first part of the song is fairly subdued and sung by Rafiki and the chorus as Rafiki summons Mufasa's spirit. Mufasa's spirit appears and instructs Simba to return home and take his rightful place as king. After Mufasa's spirit fades, Simba realizes that he must take responsibility and return home. At this, there is an instrumental break, after which the song becomes livelier and Simba joins in the celebratory singing.
