    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

    There's far too much to take in here
    More to find than can ever be found                    [Ahh...]
    But the sun rolling high                                        [...Ahh...]
    Through the sapphire sky                                    [...Ahh...]
    Keeps great and small on the endless round        [...Ahh]

    It's the Circle of Life                     [Wanna tary oh yee haka hay!]
    And it moves us all
    Through despair and hope            [Ehh...]
    Through faith and love                  [...Ehh...]
    Till we find our place                    [...Ehh...]
    On the path unwinding                  [...Ehh...]
    In the Circle                                 [...Ehh...]
    The Circle of Life                         [...Ehh, ahh]
