Circle Of Life - Carmen Twillie

Lion King OST, The · The Lion King OST

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
there's more to see than can ever be seen
There's more to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find then can ever be found
But the sun's rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

(chorus)
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through dispair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through dispair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
