Lyrics

Mowgli (spoken): Oh, Bagheera, before you send me away, let me tell you something that happened.

(sung): Last night I dreamed a most wonderful dream

Of places that I have once known

On the edge of the forest

By a clear water stream

Was a garden of flowers full grown

But I knew, oh, I knew I had been there before

Down the dark path of memories I roam

And when I saw a house with a wide-open door

Then I knew I belonged to that home

I knew, oh, I knew I belonged to it

Though it's all just a dream even so

It had something sweet as a song to it

That someone had sung long ago

A voice soft and lorn seemed to call out to me

"Welcome home, little wanderer"

and when I saw the face I was longing to see

I said "Mother oh, me mother"

And I knew I belonged to her
