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