From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun 
There's more to be seen 
than can ever be seen 
More to do than can ever be done 

Some say eat or be eaten 
Some say live and let live 
But all are agreed as they 
join the stampede 
You should never take 
more than you give 
 [bad word]  
In the circle of life 
It's the wheel of fortune 
It's the leap of faith 
It's the band of hope 
Till we find our place 
On the path unwinding 
In the circle, the circle of life 

Some of us fall by the wayside 
And some of us soar to the stars 
And some of us sail through our troubles 
And some have to live with the scars 

There's far too much to take in here 
More to find than can ever be found 

But the sun rolling high through 
the sapphire sky 
Keeps great and small on the 
endless round
