Circle Of Life
Elton John · Greatest Hits 1970-2002 [Disc Two]
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
In the circle, 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
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
Circle Of Life - Elton John
Elton John's "Circle Of Life" stands as a poignant musical reflection on mortality and the cyclical nature of existence. Recorded for his 2002 compilation "Greatest Hits 1970-2002 [Disc Two]," the track exemplifies his ability to blend pop sensibilities with deeper philosophical themes. The song's composition showcases his signature piano-driven arrangements, often layered with orchestral swells that elevate the emotional weight of the lyrics. While not a hit single in the traditional sense, it remains a significant song in his discography, demonstrating his continued engagement with universal human experiences well into the new millennium. The recording captures a mature period in his career, where his songwriting frequently explored the complexities of life and death with grace and clarity.
