In the circle, the circle of lifeOn the path unwinding In the circle, the circle of lifeIt's the wheel of fortune Keeps great and small on the endless roundIn the circle of life In the circle, the circle of lifeSome of us fall by the waysideĪnd some have to live with the scarsThere's far too much to take in hereīut the Sun rolling high through the sapphire sky You should never take more than you giveIn the circle of life More to do than can ever be doneSome say eat or be eatenīut all are agreed as they join the stampede There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
