The Circle of Life
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [There comes a lion]
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [There comes a lion]
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]
Ingonyama
Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabaal [It's a lion and a tiger]
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Se-to-kwa!)
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Asana)
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
[FS:] 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

This is a popular song from the well known film, "The Lion King."  I believe that this song perfectly illustrates "The Circle of Life."  It speaks of, well sings of I suppose, the beginning steps in life.  "From the day we arrive on the planet" is our immediate first amount of time alive.  This is unique from other passages about "The Circle of Life" because it's not as technical.  It doesn't go from the egg to the baby to the child to adolescent and to teenager to adult and finally elder.  It speaks more of what life is about, it's more in depth about the emotional side of life and it's purpose.  "Through despair and hope, through faith and live, till we find our place" this line is about how life isn't easy.  It's a struggle and always will be.  There is always a purpose and we just have to work and persevere until we find it.  "Till we find our place, on the path unwinding, in the circle, The Circle of Life."
