1. From the day we arrive on the planet, and blinking, step into the sun,

2. Some of us fall by the wayside, and some of us soar to the stars,

1. there's more to be seen than can ever be seen, more to do than can ever be done.

2. and some of us sail through our troubles, and some have to live with the scars.

1. Some say, eat or be eaten, some say, live and let live,

2. There's far too much to take in here, more to find than can ever be found,

1. but all are agreed as they join the stampede, you should never take more than you give.

2. 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,

in the circle, the circle of life.
