    From the day we arrive on the planet
    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
    'Til 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
    'Til 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
    'Til we find our place
    On the path unwinding
    In the circle, the circle of life
    On the path unwinding

    What I really like about "Circle of Life" is that the version at the start of the movie is more energetic, and in a higher key, like life is beginning. With the lower pitch and slower tempo, this feels like reflecting on the life of a loved one after they've passed, coming full Circle.

    My older brother died on February 19th, 2023 (very recent). This song reminds me so much of our traditional brother, sister, and mom visits at our local zoo in NYC. Whenever the three of us go to the zoo, we listen to this song the whole way there on repeat and then when we are done visiting all of the exhibits, we then listen to this song all the way back home. This year is a lot different now that he is gone from his unexpected skiing accident. I hope to one day share this same tradition when I find the right husband and our children will carry on this tradition. But for right now, I will carry on my brothers legacy by doing this tradition with his friends from college and meeting up at the zoo while listening to this song until I finally find that Mr. Right for myself. Rest In Peace Ryan. I will never forget you! (January 20th 1992- February 20th 2023). May the circle of life always carry on in the leap of faith. 🐯🦁🐒🦍🦧🦬🦙🐿🐇🦏🦛🦣🐘🦒🐃🐗🐆🐅🦓🦌
