Circle of Life - Lyrics

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the Sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

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

In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

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 the scars

There's 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

In the circle of life
It's the wheel f fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

"Your Song" is one of Elton John's most loved and iconic songs. The lyrics are simple and honest, and quite emotional. Instead of telling the person how they feel through words, they sing about writing a song to show their love.

 

Ellie Goulding recorded a cover of Elton John's "Your Song," and her version has become quite popular. Her cover of the song has a more modern pop feel compared to the original, yet it keeps the emotional feeling of the song.
