From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done



Some say eat or to be eaten

Some say live or let live

But all are agreed as they join the stampede

You should never take more than you give



Chorus

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, in the circ le 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



Chorus repeats
