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      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      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, yeah   In the circle, the circle of life      It's the wheel of fortune, yeah   It's the leap of faith, it's the band of hope   Till we find our place on the path unwinding, yeah   In the circle, the circle of life      On the path unwinding, yeah   In the circle, the circle of life
