A#                            Cm
From the day we arrive on the planet
F                           A#
And blinking, step into the sun
Gm                                  Cm
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
        G#                 F
More to do than can ever be done
A#                Cm
Some say eat or be eaten
F                      A#
Some say live and let live
Gm                           Cm
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
            G#                      F
You should never take more than you give
                 A#   D#
In the circle of life
                  Cm
It's the wheel of fortune
                  D#
It's the leap of faith
                 F
It's the band of hope
                   A#    G
Till we find our place
                  Cm   F#
On the path unwinding
        A#   F               D# F# A#
In the circle, the circle of life
A#                    Cm
Some of us fall by the wayside
F                        A#
And some of soar to the stars
Gm                                Cm
And some of us sail through our troubles
     G#                        F
And some have to live with the scars
A#                             Cm
There's far too much to take in here
F                              A#
More to find than can ever be found
Gm                                     Cm
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
G#                                   F
Keeps great and small on the endless round
