[Verse 1: Tahj Mowry, Orlando Brown, Anneliese van der Pol, Raven]
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking step into the sun
There's more to be seen that could ever be seen
More to do that could ever be done
[Verse 2: Tahj Mowry, Kyla Pratt, Christy Romano]
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
[Chorus: All, Raven, Christy Romano]
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's a 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
[Bridge: Hillary Duff, A.J. Trauth, Orlando Brown]
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 our scars
[Pre-chorus: Anneliese van der Pol, Raven, Christy Romano & Orlando Brown, Tahj Mowry]
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than could ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
[Chorus: All]
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's a leap of faith
It's the band of hope
'Til we find our place on the path unwinding
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's a 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
[Outro: Hillary Duff, Raven]
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking step into the sun
There's more to be seen that could ever be seen
More to do that could ever be done
[Verse 2: Tahj Mowry, Kyla Pratt, Christy Romano]
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
[Chorus: All, Raven, Christy Romano]
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's a 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
[Bridge: Hillary Duff, A.J. Trauth, Orlando Brown]
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 our scars
[Pre-chorus: Anneliese van der Pol, Raven, Christy Romano & Orlando Brown, Tahj Mowry]
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than could ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
[Chorus: All]
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's a leap of faith
It's the band of hope
'Til we find our place on the path unwinding
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's a 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
[Outro: Hillary Duff, Raven]
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
