Connor's Lament is a song sung from Of Lions and Poachers, sung by Connor himself. For the first half, he voices his doubts as his marked as the coleader of the Lion Guard, while in the second half he resolves to do so. It serves as the musical equivalent of the Lion Guard Return of the Roar film's scene when Kion doubts his destiny as the leader of the Lion Guard. It is performed by Jacob Ewaniuk.

[Speech]
Connor: Kion wanted those poachers to leave the Pridelands, and I was chosen to lead the Lion Guard. But now...all of my friends are captured because of me... [sighs] I'm sorry guys.
Connor:
Why? Why even trust me at all?
They say the Guard is my call
But then come tell me I'm wrong
Now what? What should I do?
And who? Who do I turn to?
Now everything feels so upside down
Deep down, maybe I knew
It was way too good to be true
With everyone looking up to me
Some coleader I turn out to be!
[Speech]
Mufasa: Connor!
Connor: By my cat's whiskers! Are you...
Mufasa: Yes, Connor. I am Kion's grandfather.
Connor: ...Mufasa. I've heard a lot about you.
Mufasa: And I've been watching you. You are about to embark on a great journey, Connor: coleader of the Lion Guard.
Connor: I'm not sure Kion's gonna let me be coleader of the Lion Guard. He's worried that I can't handle it.
Mufasa: Connor, Kion is worried, but he's worried because he is your friend. Being coleader of the Lion Guard will not always be easy.
Connor: Then...maybe Kion's right. Maybe I'm not ready to be colead, or lead the Lion Guard. I don't even know what to do. First Fuli is captured, then Besthe, then Ono, and now Bunga too. And I...I don't want to end up as a bad leader like I'm afraid I would.
Mufasa: Don't be afraid, Connor. Trust your instincts, the spirit of the Lion Guard will be there for you when you need it. And so will I. Until the Pride Lands' end.
Connor: Mufasa, don't go yet!...Trust my instincts, the spirit of the Lion Guard will be there when I need it.
Connor:
Maybe my journey is far from done
They need a coleader, and I'm the one
So now it's time for everyone to see
The hero I was born to be!
It is time
To take the lead on my own
It is time
For something bigger than I've ever known
No need to wonder, the choice is done
Now I believe I truly am the one
So is it time?
Is it time?
(spoken) Yes.
It is time.
