[RAFIKI]
From the day we arrive on this 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
Mmm, 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
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
Through despair and hope
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
Through faith and love
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
'Til we find our place
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
On the path unwinding
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
In the circle
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
The circle of life
(Ingonyama nengw' enamabala)
