“Endless Night” is a song written by Julie Taymor and Lebo M for Disney’s 1997 Broadway musical *The Lion King*, with music by Hans Zimmer and additional writing by Mark Mancina and Jay Rifkin. In the show it is sung by Simba as he moves through exile, set against choral writing that draws on South African idioms alongside a Broadway orchestral palette. The number was part of the work’s New York City premiere at the New Amsterdam Theatre in 1997. It functions as a reflective hinge, turning travel into resolve.
