I've changed Timon and Pumbaa to Tim and Dick as i thought it would be fun.
—————————————————————————
The Pride Lands are bathed in the warm glow of the rising sun. A diverse array of people, each a part of the rich tapestry of the kingdom's history, make their way to the palace.

Bold & underlined—lyrics

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling
Oh, oh, iyo
Mamela
Oh, oh, iyo
And a voice
With the fear of a child
Answers
Oh, oh, iyo
Oh, mamela
Oh, oh, iyo

Rafiki is standing on the tip of the Pride Palace promontory, exhorting the people gathering below him.

Ubukhosi bo khokho
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Oh, oh, iyo
Hear the words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith
Hela hey mamela

G/f/n appears in the clouds; Rafiki is blown by the wind, and he gestures to all the gathered animals below, who bow down before the image.

He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

People look up towards the palace. F/n and M/n, the parents of Y/n, are there; Rafiki, the wise advisor, takes Y/n from M/n's arms and holds her up before the assembled crowd. The people all cheer, and F/n and M/n are blown by the wind from the approving figure of G/f/n, the spiritual guardian.

[third verse repeats]
[chorus repeats]

Y/n struggles playfully in Rafiki's grip. After much cheering from the crowd, he lowers her to M/n to brush Y/n's small, round, plump face. Tim and Dick stand nearby.
"Ah, Tim-- look at that little guy. A chip off the old block! And you gotta know who's gonna raise 'im..." Dick says, his tone filled with a mix of amusement and affection.
"their parents?" Tim answers him.
"{pause} Okay, sure, get technical. But who's gonna teach him the essential stuff? Like how to belch? ? or how to hunt? I'm telling ya, buddy... it's gonna be like old times. You, me... and the little guy." Dick says.
"{chuckles} It is a girl." Rafiki corrects them.
"...Girl," Dick says, shocked, thinking the baby was a boy.
"Girl?! ...Oy!" Tim and Dick say at the same time.
Tim and Dick collapse in a dead faint.

Y/n's father's people were filled with anticipation as they huddled together, waiting to catch a glimpse of her. Y/n was presented to them by a man dressed in a spotless white cloth. As she was lifted, a gentle wind swept around her and her family, carrying with it the leaves that she tried to catch. Looking down, she saw the people below bowing in reverence, their love and respect palpable even from her elevated position.
