From the day we arrive on the planetAnd blinking, step into the sunThere's more to be seen than can ever be seenMore 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 stampedeYou should never take more than you give
In the circle of lifeIt's the wheel of fortuneIt's the leap of faithIt's the band of hope'Til we find our placeOn the path unwindingIn the circle, the circle of life
Some of us fall by the waysideAnd some of us soar to the starsAnd some of us sail through our troublesAnd some have to live with the scars
There's far too much to take in hereMore to find than can ever be foundBut the sun rolling high through the sapphire skyKeeps great and small on the endless round
In the circle of lifeIt's the wheel of fortuneIt's the leap of faithIt's the band of hope'Til we find our placeOn the path unwinding, yeahIn the circle, the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune, yeahIt's the leap of faithIt's the band of hope'Til we find our placeOn the path unwinding, yeahIn the circle, the circle of life
On the path unwinding, yeahIn the circle, the circle of life
