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'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
It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the Circle The Circle of Life
I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware!
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my ROAR
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
I know that your powers of retention Are as wet as a warthog's backside But thick as you are, pay attention My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions The lights are not all on upstairs But we're talking kings and successions Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer And where do we feature? Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded When at last I am given my dues And injustice deliciously squared Be prepared!
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries For the rest of your days It's our problem-free philosophy Hakuna Matata!
Why, when he was a young warthog... When I was a young wart hoooog! Very nice. Thanks! He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal He could clear the savannah after every meal I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind And oh, the shame (He was ashamed!) Thoughta changin' my name (Oh, what's in a name?) And I got downhearted (How did you feel?) Ev'rytime that I... Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids! Oh... sorry.
There's a calm surrender To the rush of day When the heat of the rolling world Can be turned away An enchanted moment And it sees me through It's enough for this restless warrior Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest? It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best
