[RAFIKI]
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 is 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

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
[LEBO M]
Bayede! Ndebe sutha!
Khosi m'khosi! Siyabonga baba!
Bayede!
Helele helele helele!
Ukele we sizwe! Khosi wen khofu!
Siyabonga baba! Bayede!
Siyabonga baba!
Khwathu ma fikele! Khwene ndaba!
Khwathu ma fikele! Wen o wen khofu
Siyabonga baba! Bayede...

[RAFIKI & ENSEMBLE]
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
